### [v2.c29.473](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.473)

In the case of all Buddhas, there are four fixed spots (avijahitatthānāni). These are: the site of the seat under the Bodhi-tree (bodhipallaṅka), the Deer Park at Isipatana where the first sermon is preached, the spot where the Buddha first steps on the ground at Saṅkassa on his descent from Tusita (Tāvatimsa ?), and the spots marked by the four posts of the bed in the Buddha’s Gandhakuṭi in Jetavana. The monastery may vary in size; the site of the city in which it stands may also vary, but not the site of the bed. Sometimes it is to the east of the vihāra, sometimes to the north.¹³
