The Gandhavamsa⁵ mentions a list of twenty-three teachers who wrote their works in Arimaddana. From this context it appears that Arimaddana was known also as Pukkāma (Pukkāmasaṅkhāte Arimaddananagare). This is supported by evidence from elsewhere.⁶ It was a minister in Arimaddana who wrote the Nyāsappadīpaṭīkā.⁷ Arimaddana was also the city of birth of the Thera Chapaṭa.⁸ - [Previous: v1.c6.2913](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2913) - [Next: v1.c6.2915](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2915) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2914](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2914) · Pramāṇa
