A garden in Anurádhapura, through which the boundary of the Mahávihára passed (Mbv. p. 136).

A monastery was built there (probably later), which came to be called the Vijayáráma-vihára. Once, an arahant monk, teaching a kammatthána to two monks, spoke of samuddha instead of samudda. One of the monks pointed out his error, and was sent by the arahant to the Mahávihára with a message that he had paid more attention to letters than to their meaning. The monk went to the Mahávihára and later attained Nibbána, after solving various difficult questions in the presence of the assembly. MA.ii.827.
