Jotivana untranslated

Jotivana. The name given to the Nandanavana in Anurādhapura after Mahinda had preached there, converting a large number of people (Vin-a.i.82: Mhv.xv.202). It was situated immediately before the south gate of the city (Ibid., 1, 7, 8). It was included in the boundaries of the Mahā Vihāra and, later, Mahā Sena built the Jetavanavihāra in Jotivana (Mhv.xxxvii.33).

It is said (DN­a.i.131; see also Cv.xxxvii.65; lii.59) that when Mahinda preached at Jotivana there was an earthquake.
