Bhaggā.—The name of a tribe and a country, the capital of which was Sumsumāragiri (q.v.). The Buddha went there several times in the course of his wanderings¹ and three rules for the monks were laid down there.² Bodhirājakumāra (q.v. 1), son of Udena of Kosambi, lived there, apparently as his father's viceroy, in which case the Bhaggā were subject to Kosambi.³ The Bhagga country lay between Vesāli and Sāvatthi.
