Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

ṇḍܰ첹 (पाण्डुकम्ब�) or ṇḍܰ첹śilā is the name of a throne in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter XLII.—accordingly, “during the summer retreat (ṣa) when he was staying in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven in the Houan-hi-yuan (Nandanavana), he was seated on the -’o- (Kambalaśilā), soft and pure like the gods� silk ribbons, but he felt no pleasant sensation (ܰ󲹱岹). And when the great Devarājas, on their knees, offered him celestial foods, he did not consider them to be exquisite�.

Notes: In the seventh year of his public ministry, the Buddha, who has just carried out the great miracle at Śrāvastī, following the example of his predecessors, went to preach the Dharma (some texts specify the Abhidharma) in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven where his mother Māyā had taken rebirth. In the shadow of a Pārikāta kovidāra tree (Erythrina indica), seated on Śakra’s throne, the ṇḍܰ첹-śilā (Stone of white wool), he prolonged his teaching for the three months of the summer season (ṣa). Seven days afterwards, escorted by Brahmā on his right and Śakra on his left, he descended from the heavens of the Trāyastriṃśas by way of a wondrous triple staircase and set foot on earth at Sāṃkāsya, in the Āpajjura forest, at the foot of the Udumbara tree (Ficus glomerata).
