⁹ Cf. Mtu. i. 300, where a Kapinayhacetiya is also mentioned. All these were once shrines dedicated to various local deities, but after the Buddha's visit to Vesāli, they were converted into places of Buddhist worship. Other monasteries are also mentioned, in or near Vesāli — e.g., Pāṭikārāma, Vālikārāma.
