v2.c33.441
**Rājāyatanadhātu.**—Probably identical with **Rājāyatana-cetiya** in **Nāgadīpa**. Aggabodhi II. built for it the **Uṇṇalomaghara-vihāra**.¹ The cetiya was perhaps erected in honour of the Rājāyatana-tree, which was brought by **Samiddhisumana** from **Jetavana** when he came with the Buddha to Ceylon.² It is said³ that when the Buddha's religion disappears, all the relics of the Buddha in Ceylon will gather together at the **Mahācetiya**, proceed from there to the Rājāyatana-cetiya in Nāgadīpa, and from there, finally, to the Bodhi-tree.
