A park in the Cetiya kingdom (A.iv.228f). The Buddha visited it during his tours, and once, while staying there with Meghiya, the latter stopped in a mango grove in the village of Jantugama, refusing to go any farther (Ibid.,163).

The park lay between Balakalonakaragama and the Parileyyakavana (DhA.i.47).

Anuruddha, Nandiya and Kimbila were living there during the time of the quarrel of the monks at Kosambi, and the Buddha visited them on his way to Parileyyaka (Vin.i.350f.; cp. M.i.205ff). It was there that Anuruddha became an arahant (A.iv.228f.; AA.i.108).

Buddhaghosa explains (Ibid., ii.765) that the park was so called because it was to the east of where the Buddha lived (?) and it was covered with green bamboos.
