Nāgacatukka.—A locality near Ambatthala. While seated here, Devānampiyatissa heard the novice Sumana announce the time for the preaching of the Dhamma, to be heard all over Ceylon.¹ Geiger² identifies it with the modern Nāgapokuṇa (but see Nāgasonḍi). According to the Dīpavaṃsa³ (which has a *v.l.* Nagaracatukka) it was a pond at the foot of the Missakapabbata and was made out of rock.
