In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA place in Anuradhapura, where Devanampiyatissa offered Mahinda a mango, which he ate on the spot, and caused the seed to be planted. Immediately there sprouted from it a tall tree, bearing mangoes. This place later became the centre of distribution of various gifts to the monks (Mhv.xv.38).
After Mahindas death, the bier containing his body was placed here for a week, and many honours were shown to it prior to its cremation (Ibid., xx.39). This is probably the same as Pancambamalaka (q.v.).
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).
