A tree near the Ajapálanigrodha in Uruvelá. The Buddha spent there the third week after the Enlightenment. There was a great shower of rain, and the Nága king, Mucalinda, of the tree, sheltered the Buddha by winding his coils seven times round the Buddha's body and holding his hood over the Buddha's head (Vin.i.3; J.i.80; BuA.8, 241; Ud.ii.1; Mtn.iii.300, 302; DhSA.35).
The Udána Commentary (100f.; see also MA.i.385) adds that the space provided by the Nága's coils was as large as the floor space of the Lohapásáda and that the Nága king lived in a pond near the tree.
