Being pleased with the Elder Mahānāma of Macchikāsaṇḍa, Citta invited him to a meal, and after listening to his discourse, gave the grove to the Order. At the dedication of the gift the earth trembled. Later he built a splendid monastery there, the Ambāṭakārāma, for the use of monks from all parts.¹ It became the residence of large numbers of monks, and discussions often took place there between Cittagahapati and the resident bhikkhus.² - [Previous: v1.c6.2669](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2669) - [Next: v1.c6.2671](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2671) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2670](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2670) · Pramāṇa
