Gandhakuṭi untranslated

Gandhakuṭi. The name given to the special apartment occupied by the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery (Ja.i.92). The building, of which the Gandhakuṭi formed a part, was evidently called the Gandhakuṭipariveṇa, and there the Buddha would assemble the monks and address them (e.g., Ja.i.501; iii.67). The site, on which stands the bed of the Buddha in the Gandhakuṭi, is the same for every Buddha, and is one of the unalterable sites – avijahitaṭṭhānāni (Bv­a.247).

The name Gandhakuṭi seems to have been used later in reference also to other residences of the Buddha. Thus, we are told (AN­a.i.226; see C.SN.B., Pl.5B) that Visākhā built a Gandhakuṭi for the Buddha in the Pubbārāma with the money she obtained by the sale of her Mahā Latāpasādhana.
