Gaggarā.—It was a tank not far from the city of Campā. It was dug by the queen Gaggarā. On the bank of this tank the Master taught the people of Campā his doctrine (Sumaṅgalavilāsinī, I, 279). This tank may be identified with the large silted-up lake now called Sarovar situated on the skirts of Campānagara, from the depth of which Buddhist and Jaina statues were recovered (J.A.S.B., 1914, p. 335).
