Aḷajanapada.—A district which the thera Isidatta visited on his return journey from a pilgrimage to the Mahā-Vihāra. The children of Aḷajanapada collected some fruit-rinds, which had been left behind by the fruit-gatherers, and gave them to Isidatta and his companion, Mahāsoṇa. It is said that this was the only meal they had for a week.¹
