The space covered by the four bedposts of the Buddha's Gandhakuṭi in Jetavana is one of the four avijahitaṭṭhānāni; all Buddhas possess the same, though the size of the actual vihāra differs in the case of the various Buddhas. For Vipassī Buddha, the seṭṭhi Punabbasumitta built a monastery extending for a whole league, while for Sikhi, the seṭṭhi Sirivaḍḍha made one covering three gāvutas. The Saṅghārāma built by Sotthiya for Vessabhū was half a league in extent, while that erected by Accuta for Kakusandha covered only one gāvuta. Koṇagamana's monastery, built by the seṭṭhi Ugga, extended for half a gāvuta, while Kassapa's built by Sumaṅgala covered sixteen karīsas. Anāthapiṇḍika's monastery covered a space of eighteen karīsas.²²
