In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
A brahmin village in Magadha to the east of Rajagaha.
To the north of the village was the Vediyaka mountain, in which was the Indasalaguha, where the Sakkapanha Sutta was preached. On the occasion of the preaching, as Sakka with his retinue came to visit the Buddha, the village was bathed in radiance (D.ii.263f).
The name arose from the fact that the village lay in the vicinity of many mango groves. DA.iii.697.
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).

Ambasaṇḍa (अम्बसण्ड) is the name of an ancient locality situated in Majjhimadesa (Middle Country) of ancient India, as recorded in the Pāli Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).—To the east of Rājagaha was the Brahmin village of Ambasaṇḍa. Once the Buddha dwelt at Andhakavinda in Magadha. It is said that the Brahmā Sahampati saw the Blessed One there and uttered some verses in his presence.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
