In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA tank in Rohana, near Mahagama. Meghavannabhaya, minister of Mahasena, leading a revolt against the king, once encamped on its bank (Mhv.xxxvii.18). Saddhatissa built a vihara near by (Mhv.xxxiii.9). Mahanaga gave to the ascetics one thousand fields watered by the tank (Cv.xli.99; see Cv.Trs.i.62, n.1), and Parakkamabahu I, repaired the tank (Cv.lxxix.32). Geiger thinks (Mhv. Trs.248, n.5) that Duratissa vapi is probably identical with Duravapi.
