In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
A monastery in Ceylon. It was restored by Aggabodhi V., who also gave to it the village of Pannabhatta. He appears to have renamed the village Mahasena, probably after its original founder. Cv.xlviii.8; Cv.Trs.i.111, n.1.
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).
India history and geography
Talavatthu-vihāra is the name of an ancient locality that existed in the Polonnaruva (Polonnaruwa) district of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—Vijayabāhu I (1055-1110) restored Tilavatthuka canal and filled Maṇihīra tank once again: the name Tilavatthuka or Talavatu is preserved in present Talvatura Oya which flows into Miṇṇeriya tank. Apparently the Tilavatthuka canal was that branch of the main Ālisāra canal which fed Miṇṇeriya tank. Talavatthu-vihāra, probably also known as Mahāsena-vihāra, was restored by Mānavamma (684-718): this vihāra, in all probability, was close to the Tilavatthuka or Talavatu canal.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
