Ambatitthaka

1. Ambatitthaka.– A Tamil stronghold surrounded by a river and a moat; it was captured by Duṭṭhagāmaṇī after a siege of four months (Mhv.xxv.7‑9). The crafty Damiḷa Titthamba lived there, and it is said that, in the end, he was conquered by a conspiracy in which Duṭṭhagāmaṇī offered to allow him to marry Duṭṭhagāmaṇī’s mother (MT.473 f). Near here was a ford across the Mahāvāluka-gaṅgā.

2. Ambatitthaka.– A Jaṭila living at Ambatittha.
