1. Pubbārāma.—A park outside the eastern gate of Sāvatthi. It was the custom of the Buddha to spend his siesta there after eating at the house of Anāthapiṇḍika.¹ In the Pubbārāma, Visākhā erected the Migāramātupāsāda (*q.v.*), the site costing her nine crores and the building another nine.² The Pubbārāma in Sāvatthi corresponded to the Uttamadevi-vihāra in Anurādhapura.³ It was while staying at the Pubbārāma that the Buddha sent the novice Sumana to fetch water from Anotatta.⁴ The Vighāsa Jātaka⁵ was also preached there.
