Kalyāṇī-(Kalyāṇika)-vihāra.—A monastery attached to the Kalyāṇī-cetiya. It was from the earliest times the residence of eminent monks, such as Dhammagutta (the Earth-shaker) and his five hundred colleagues¹ and of Godattatthera.² Here a thera, called Piṇḍapātiya, once recited the Brahmajāla Sutta, and the earth trembled as he finished his recital.³ Near the vihāra was the village of Kāḷadighavāpigāma, where monks who lived in the monastery went for alms.⁴
