Buddha, while in Râjgir, lived at Gridhrakûṭa, Gautama-Nyagrodha-ârâma, Chauraprapâta, Saptaparni cave, Krishna-śilâ by the side of Rishi-giri, Sapta-śauṇḍa cave, in the Sitavana-kuñja, Jivaka's Mango-garden, Tapoda-ârâma and Mrigavana of Madrakukshi (Mahâparinibbâna Sutta, ch. 3). For further particulars, see Râjgir in Pt. II of this work. 2. Râjgiri, the capital of Kekaya, on the north of the Bias in the Punjab (Râmâyaṇa, Ayodhya K., ch. 68). Cunningham identifies Girivraja, the capital of Kekaya with Jâlâlpur, the ancient name of which was Girjak (Arch. S. Rep., II): this identification has been adopted by Mr. Pargiter (Markaṇḍeya P., p. 318 note).
