Gandhakuṭi.—The name given to the special apartment occupied by the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery.¹ The building, of which the Gandhakuṭi formed a part, was evidently called the Gandhakuṭi-pariveṇa, and there the Buddha would assemble the monks and address them.² The site, on which stands the bed of the Buddha in the Gandhakuṭi, is the same for every Buddha, and is one of the unalterable sites—*avijahitatthānāni*.³
