Mucalinda.—A tree near the Ajapālanigrodha in Uruvelā. The Buddha spent there the third week after the Enlightenment. There was a great shower of rain, and the Nāga-king, Mucalinda, of the tree, sheltered the Buddha by winding his coils seven times round the Buddha’s body and holding his hood over the Buddha’s head.¹ The Udāna Commentary² adds that the space provided by the Nāga’s coils was as large as the floor-space of the Lohapāsāda and that the Nāga king lived in a pond near the tree. - [Previous: v2.c31.3075](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.3075) - [Next: v2.c31.3077](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.3077) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.3076](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.3076) · Pramāṇa
