In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesMention is made in the books of the Magadhakhetta, probably an extensive rice field which at once caught the eye on account of its terraces. It could be seen from the Indasala guha (ThagA.i.333). The contour of the field struck the Buddhas imagination and he asked Ananda to design a robe of the same pattern. Ananda did this very successfully, and this pattern has been adopted for the robes of members of the Order ever since (Vin.i.287).
The Suvannnakakkata Jataka (J.iii.293; also iv.277) mentions a field of one thousand karisas (about eight thousand acres) in a brahmin village called SaIindiya to the east of Rajagaha. Magadhakhetta may sometimes have been used as another name for Magadha. See, e.g., AA.i.126, where NaIakagama is mentioned as having been in Magadhakhetta.
Therav膩da is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
