**Bhaddavatikā.**—A market-town near Kosambī. The Buddha went there and was warned by cowherds and others not to approach Ambatittha as a fierce Nāga dwelt there. Sāgata Thera, hearing this, went to Ambatittha and subdued the Nāga, afterwards rejoining the Buddha at Bhaddavatikā.¹ The town is probably identical with Bhaddavatī (q.v.), and was in the Cetiya Country.²
