Jātiyāvana untranslated

Jātiyāvana. A grove near Bhaddiya. Gotama Buddha, when once staying there, laid down a rule about the use of slippers by monks (Vin.i.189f; Dhp­a.iii.451). There the banker Meṇḍaka visited him and provided meals for him and the monks (Dhp­a.iii.363; Vin.i.242f). Meṇḍaka’s grandson, Uggaha, did likewise (AN.iii.36f).

The Buddha once stayed in Jātiyāvana for three months, waiting for the ripening of Bhaddaji’s wisdom, ready for his conversion (Ja.ii.331; Thag­a.i.286).

The Suttavibhaṅga contains the story of an Arahant on whom a woman committed a misdemeanour while he was sleeping in Jātiyāvana (Vin.iii.37f).

Buddhaghosa says that the grove formed part of a forest track extending up to the Himālaya (AN­a.ii.597).
