Mallikārāma untranslated

Mallikārāma. A pleasance in Sāvatthī belonging to Queen Mallikā. It is described as “Samayappavādakatindukācīra-ekasalaka (v.l. -tindukākhīra-).” DN.i.178; MN.ii.22, etc.; Vin-a.i.107, etc.

The Commentary (MN­a.ii.710; cf. DN­a.ii.365) says it was called Samyappavādaka because teachers holding various views used to gather there and discourse on their doctrines. It was surrounded by tindukakhīra (timbaru) trees, hence tindukācīra (sic); at first it possessed only one hall, but later many were erected through the good fortune of Poṭṭhapāda – hence its epithet Ekasālāka.
