Maddakucchi-migadāya (migadāva).—This deer park at Maddakucchi was an important site in or about Rājagṛha (Vinaya, I, 105; Samyutta, I, p. 27). Buddhaghosa takes Maddakucchi to be the actual name of the park where the antelopes were allowed to live freely (Sāratthappakāsinī, I, 77). The site was apparently on the plains and it occupied a space near a curve in one of the hills of Rājagṛha.
