**Kaṇṭakivana.**—A grove near Sāketa. The conversation which took place there between Sāriputta and Moggallāna is recorded in the Padesa Sutta.¹ A discussion which took place there on another occasion between these two and Anuruddha, is given in the Kaṇṭakī Sutta.² The grove was evidently also called Tikaṇṭakī³ and the Commentary describes it as *mahā-karamadda-vana*, karamadda being a shrub (carissa carandas). The Buddha also stayed in this grove, and a sermon preached by him to the monks is recorded in the Tikaṇṭakī Sutta.⁴
