Nāgacatukka untranslated

Nāgacatukka. v.l. Nagaracatukka. A locality near Ambatthala. While seated here, Devānampiyatissa heard the novice Sumana announce the time for the preaching of the Dhamma, to be heard all over Ceylon (Mhv.xiv.36). Geiger (Mhv.Trs. 94, n.1) identifies it with the modern Nāgapokuṇa (but see Nāgasoṇḍi).

According to the Dīpavaṁsa (Dpv.xiv. 58; also Mhv.xvi.6) (which has a v.l. Nagaracatukka) it was a pond at the foot of the Missakapabbata and was made out of rock.
