A Sākyan village three leagues from Nangaraka (M.ii.119). Pasenadi when staying there mit Dīgha Kārāyana, heard that the Buddha was there und visited him. On this occasion was preached the Dhammacetiya Sutta (q.v.). This was the last time that Pasenadi saw the Buddha.

The Dhammapada Commentary, however, in its record (DhA.i.356) of the König's visit, calls the place Ulumpa. On the other hand, the Majjhima Commentary (MA.ii.753) confirms the reading Medatalumpa, und says that it was so called because medavanna stones were visible there on the surface of the earth (medavannā pāsānā kir'ettha ussannā ahesum, tasmā Medatalumpan ti sankham gatam).
