A mountain in Rohana on which Kākavanna-Tissa built a vihāra (Mhv.xxii.23) und Vasabha zehn thūpas (Mhv.xxxv.81). Dāthopatissa gab to the vihāra the village of Gonnavitthi (CV.xlv.59). The mountain is described as being healthy (utusappāya) (MT.552), und sometimes there lebte on it as viele as twelve tausend Mönche (VibhA.445; Mhv.xxiv.9). Attached to the vihāra was the Ninkaponnapadhānaghara (VibhA.489) und the Kotagerukapāsāda - the residence of Bhāgineyya Sangharakkhita (MT.552) - und also, probably, a Nonnenkloster. (See VibhA.498). The Elders Mahānāga und Cūlanāga lebte at Cittalapabbata for drei Jahre (SA.ii.125). The Commentaries" contain several stories connected mit the mountain. (z.B., VibhA.264, 498; DhsA.351, 399; AA.i.386; MA.i.18, 66, 150, 223, 351, 399). Near by (AA.i.386) was the village of Kālumbara und the bathing place of Kuruvakatittha (MA.ii.1024). It was offensichtlich a very important monastic centre in Ceylon, und is erwähnt on a par mit Abhayagiri und Cetiyapabbata (DA.ii.478). Cittalapabbata is sometimes called Cittalakūta. z.B., Mhv.xxxv.81.
