A monastery in Ceylon, built by Jetthatissa and given to the monks of the "five settlements." The stone image set up by Devánampiyatissa in the Thúpáráma was transferred to this vihára by Jetthatissa (Mhv.xxxvi.127, 129). Mahásena had it brought from there to the Abhayagiri vihára (Ibid.,xxxvii.14). Near the monastery was the mountain, Pácína tissapabbata, where an engagement took place between Kassapa, son of Upatissa III., and Silákála (Cv.xli.14). Later, at the same spot, took place the decisive battle between Sanghatissa and Moggallána III. Ibid.,xliv.14ff.
