v1.c18.440

After Jīvaka became a Sotāpanna, he was anxious to visit the Buddha twice a day, and finding Veḷuvana too far away, he built a monastery with all its adjuncts in his own Ambavana in Rājagaha, which he gave to the Buddha and his monks.⁵ When Bimbisāra died, Jīvaka continued to serve Ajātasattu, and was responsible for bringing him to the Buddha after his crime of parricide.⁶
