Maṅkulakārāma.—A monastery in Sunāparanta where Puṇṇa Thera lived (q.v.) and where the Buddha visited him. Near by was a village of merchants where Puṇṇa went for his alms and where lived his brother Culla-Puṇṇa. After the merchants had been saved from death by the intervention of Puṇṇa, they gave him a share of the red sandalwood they had obtained in the course of their travels, and with this they built a maṇḍalamāla in the vihāra and dedicated it to the Buddha. The Buddha lived there for seven days.¹
