In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA mountain in Rohana; near it was the village of Kitti (Mhv.xxiii.55). There was a monastery on Kotapabbatta called the Kotapabbata vihara. This was the residence of the Samanera who was afterwards born as Dutthagamani (Mhv.xxii.25); also of Maha Summa Thera (Mhv.xxiii.61), of Asubhakammika Tissa and of his teacher Maha Tissa (MT.553). The Vihara was near Mahagama (MT.553).
The Visuddhi Magga (p.292) mentions an Elder, Tissa, of Kota (Koti) pabbata, who, having attained arahantship through meditation on breathing, was able to limit the term of his life. According to the Dhammapada Commentary (iv.50), an Elder named Anula lived in the monastery during the time of Dutthagamani, and the village Bhokkanta, residence of Sumana, wife of Lakuntaka Atimbara, was in its vicinity. It was probably the same as Gotapabbata (q.v.) (See Mhv.xxxv.124; MT.667). The Nagalena was in the Kotapabbata vihara (DA.ii.695).
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).
