Queen Gaggarā of Campā dug a tank called Gaggarāpokkharaṇī (*Sumaṅgalavilāsinī*, I, p. 279). The Buddha dwelt on its bank with a large company of monks while he was at Campā (*Dīgha*, I, 111ff.). His activities in Aṅga and Campā may be known from the *Vinaya Piṭaka* (I, 312-15). The Master while dwelling in the city of Assapura belonging to the kingdom of Aṅga, preached the Mahā and Culla Assapura *Suttantas* to the monks (*Majjhima*, I, 281ff.). In course of his journey from Rājagṛha to Kapilavastu the Master was followed by many sons of the householders of Aṅga and Magadha (*Jāt.*, I, 87). The Himalayan sages came to the city of Kāḷa-Campā in Aṅga to enjoy cooked food (*Jāt.*, VI, 256). Aggidatta, the chaplain of king Mahākosala, father of Pasenadi-Kosala, lived in Aṅga and Magadha after giving up his household life and he was given charities by the people of these two kingdoms (*Dhammapada Commy.*, III, 241ff.).
