The Buddha went there to see Vacchagotta, and it was on this occasion that the Tevijja Vacchagottasutta was preached (MN.i.481f). Buddhaghosa says (MN­a.ii.673) that the place was so-called because in it grew a solitary White Mango Tree (setambarukkha).

Over the elephant’s ribs there was a white spot (paṇḍaraṭṭhāna), the size of a palmyra-fruit, hence his name (MN­a.ii.752).
