Pāsānadīpa

A vihāra in Rohaṇa, built by Mahādāṭhika Mahānāga, who gave to it a tract of land spreading for half a league round in honour of a novice (sāmaṇera) who lived there and had given the king a draught of water (Mhv.xxxiv.91). Silādāṭha (s.v. Silāmeghavaṇṇa) heard the elder of this vihāra teach the sacred texts, and, very pleased with him, built for him the Rohaṇa-vihāra. Cv.xlv.53.
