Maruttapokkharaṇī untranslated

Maruttapokkharaṇī. A tank in Anurādhapura, north of the royal palace, in the time of Devānampiyatissa. When Mahinda scattered flowers on it the earth trembled, and Mahinda prophesied that it would become the Jantāgharapokkhoraṇī situated to the east of the gateway of the Kāḷapāsāṇapariveṇa.

It had disappeared by the time the Mahā Vaṁsa ṭīkā was written (Mhv­ṭ.344f). The sīmā of the Mahā Vihāra passed through the tank. Mbv.135, 136.
