A place in Uttarakuru where the Yakkhas assemble.
The Dígha Nikáya (D.iii.201) speaks of it as a hall (sabhá), while the Sutta Nipáta Commentary (SNA.i.197) says it is a mountain in Himavá where the devas assemble every month for eight days in order to settle disputes. The Yakkha leaders also attend these assemblies.
The Sumangalavilásiní (DA.iii.967), however, says that it is a jewelled pavilion (ratanamandapa) twelve leagues in extent, on the banks of the Dharaní Lake. It is surrounded by a creeper named Bhagalavatí, hence, probably, its name.
