Therambatthala.—See Ambatthala. Geiger thinks¹ that Therambatthala is the name given to the Ambatthalathūpa, built (on the Cetiyagiri) by Mahādāṭhika Mahānāga in memory of Mahinda. But, probably, the whole of this locality later came to be referred to by this name, for Therambatthala is mentioned² as the residence of monks, among them, Buddha-Rakkhita and Mahā-Rohaṇagutta.
