Chātapabbata.—A mountain, slightly over two yojanas to the south-east of Anurādhapura. At the foot was a bamboo-grove in which grew three bamboo-stems, each being a waggon-pole in girth—known as latāyaṭṭhi, kusumayaṭṭhi and sukunayaṭṭhi—because of Devānaṃpiyatissa's good fortune.¹ Saddhātissa afterwards built a vihāra there, called the Chātavihāra.² The Aṅguttara Commentary³ has a reference to a novice dwelling in Chātapabbata who came to grief after hearing a woman's voice.
