Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA village to the north of Samantakuta and on the road which led to it from the north. It is situated on a small river which joins the Maskeli river and ultimately flows into the Kelani river. Vijayabahu I, built rest houses at the village for the use of pilgrims coming to Samantakuta (Cv.lx.66).
Kadali is to be identified with the modern Kehelgamuva (Cv.Trs.i.221, n.3).
Perhaps the Kadalisenagama, where Devappatiraja built a bridge of one hundred staves, may be the same village, but this is questionable (Cv.lxxxvi.41). This is more likely to be the modern Kehellenava (Cv.Trs.ii.174, n.3).
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).
