73.124

Śītavana charnel ground (尸陀林: properly spoken as *Śītavana*, translated here as 'Cool Grove'. The forest is secluded, remote, and cold, taking its name from that. It is located beside Rājagṛha, where many corpses of the dead are sent. Nowadays, places where corpses are abandoned are called *śītavana* by adopting this name).
