1.2

Now the Blessed One put up at the royal rest-house in the Ambalaṭṭhikā. pleasance to pass the night, and with him the company of the brethren. And so also did Suppiya the mendicant, and with him his young disciple Brahmadatta. And there, at the rest-house, these two carried on the same discussion as before.

1.2.n1

Ambalaṭṭhikā, ‘the mango sapling.’ It was, says Buddhaghosa (pp. 41, 42), a well-watered and shady park so called from a mango sapling by the gateway. It was surrounded with a rampart, and had in it a rest-house adorned with paintings for the king’s amusement.
There was another garden so named at Anurādhapura in Ceylon, to the east of the Brazen Palace (Sum. 1, 13 1). This was so named, no doubt, after the other which was famous as the scene of the ‘Exhortation to Rāhula starting with falsehood,’ mentioned in Asoka’s Bhabra Edict (see my ‘Buddhism,’ pp. 224, 225).
