Alajanapada

A district which the thera Isidatta visited on his return journey from a pilgrimage to the Mahā-Vihāra.

The children of Alajanapada collected some fruit-rinds, which had been left behind by the fruit-gatherers, and gave them to Isidatta and his companion, Mahāsona.

It is said that this was the only meal they had for a week. VibhA.447.
