A mango grove in Mithilā where Makhādeva lived in meditation after retiring from household life (J.i.138 f.; vi. 95).
This grove existed even In der Zeit von the Buddha, und during his stay there mit Ananda he preached the Makhādeva Sutta (M.ii.74).
Buddhaghosa explains (MA.ii.732; see also Mtu.iii.450) that the garden was originally planned by Makhādeva, und that other kings, from time to time, replaced trees which had died.
