In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesSee Ambatthala. Geiger thinks (Mhv. Trs.264, n.3) that Therambatthala is the name given to the Ambatthalathupa, built (on the Cetiyagiri) by Mahadathika Mahanaga in memory of Mahinda.
But, probably, the whole of this locality later came to be referred to by this name, for Therambatthala is mentioned (Vsm.155, 375; DhSA 187) as the residence of monks, among them, Buddha Rakkhita and Maha Rohanagutta.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
