In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
A mountain in Rohana on which Kakavanna Tissa built a vihara (Mhv.xxii.23) and Vasabha ten thupas (Mhv.xxxv.81). Dathopatissa gave to the vihara the village of Gonnavitthi (CV.xlv.59). The mountain is described as being healthy (utusappaya) (MT.552), and sometimes there lived on it as many as twelve thousand monks (VibhA.445; Mhv.xxiv.9). Attached to the vihara was the Ninkaponnapadhanaghara (VibhA.489) and the Kotagerukapasada - the residence of Bhagineyya Sangharakkhita (MT.552) - and also, probably, a nunnery. (See VibhA.498). The Elders Mahanaga and Culanaga lived at Cittalapabbata for three years (SA.ii.125). The Commentaries contain several stories connected with the mountain. (E.g., VibhA.264, 498; DhsA.351, 399; AA.i.386; MA.i.18, 66, 150, 223, 351, 399). Near by (AA.i.386) was the village of Kalumbara and the bathing place of Kuruvakatittha (MA.ii.1024). It was evidently a very important monastic centre in Ceylon, and is mentioned on a par with Abhayagiri and Cetiyapabbata (DA.ii.478). Cittalapabbata is sometimes called Cittalakuta. E.g., Mhv.xxxv.81.
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).
