Maṅgana

A locality, probably a monastery in Sri Lanka, the residence of an Arahant, Khuddaka Tissa (Kujjaka Tissa) (Mhv.xxxii.53; J.vi.30).

The place was five leagues from Anurādhapura and was visited by Saddhā Tissa (AA.i.384).

A Maṅgana-vihāra is mentioned among the religious buildings erected by Dhātusena (Cv.xxxviii.48). This was probably a restoration of the original.
