In the Sītavana was the Sappasondikapabhāra,³ where Upasena was killed by a snake-bite⁴ and Sona Kolivisa tried, without success, to practise asceticism.⁵ Sambhūta Thera (q.v.) so loved the Sītavana that he came to be called “Sītavaniya.” In Asoka’s day his brother Tissakumāra, (Ekavihāriya) is also mentioned as delighting in the solitude of Sītavana.⁶ There were five hundred “walks” (caṅkamanāni) in Sītavana.⁷
