Naḷakapāna untranslated

Naḷakapāna. A village in Kosala, where the Buddha once stayed and preached the Naḷakapānasutta (MN.i.462). The village received its name from the Naḷakapāna pokkharaṇī (MN­a.ii.66-4f.; AN­a.ii.813). The reason for the name of this pond, which was in the village, is given in the Naḷapānajātaka. There were two groves near the village, the Ketakavana and the Palāsavana; in the latter, Sāriputta preached two sermons at the request of the Buddha. AN.v.122f., 125 f.
