Sāmagāma untranslated

Sāmagāma. A Sākiyan village where the Sāmagāmasutta (below) was preached (MN.ii.243). There was a lotus pond in the village (AN.iii.309). The Vedhaññā probably lived there, because, according to the Pāsādikasutta (DN.iii.117), the Buddha was in the mango grove of the Vedhañña Sākiyans when the news, as given in the Sāmagāmasutta, of Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta’s death, was brought to him.

According to Buddhaghosa (MN­a.ii.829) the village was called Sāmagāma, Sāmakānaṁ ussanattā.
