Subhagavana untranslated

Subhagavana. A wood in Ukkaṭṭhā. Once, when the Buddha was there, he visited the Avihā gods (DN.ii.50) and, again, from there he visited Bakabrahma, to whom he preached the Brahmanimantanikasutta (MN.i.326; but see SN.i.142, where the Buddha is said to have been at Jetavana). It was under a sāla tree in Subhagavana that the Mūlapariyāyasutta was preached (MN.i.1; also the Jātaka, of the same name, Ja 245, Ja.ii.259).

The wood was so-called because of its beauty. People often went there for pleasure, and, influenced by the romantic nature of the surroundings, would plan pleasant things, which would come to pass (MN­a.i.10).
