The first tradition³ also attempts to explain the naming of the Moriyan capital by stating that the spot where they founded the city was located in a *pipphalivana*. We have no other source indicating such a basis for the name of Pipphalivana. It would normally mean "a grove of pepper vines;" not at all suitable for giving shelter to the refugees of the tribe.
