A grove near lake Tapodá (q.v.). In the grove was a monastery where the Buddha seems to have stayed on several occasions. It is said (D.ii.116) that on one such occasion the Buddha gave Ananda the chance of asking him to live for a whole kappa, but Amanda failed to make use of it.
Near the Tapodáráma was the Tapodakandárá. They were both far from Rájagaha, and monks would come from afar late at night and, in order to test Dabba Mallaputta's powers, ask him to provide lodgings for them (Vin.ii.76; iii.159).
