Bhaddavatikā

A market town near Kosambī. The Buddha went there and was warned by cowherds and others not to approach Ambatittha as a fierce Nāga dwelt there.

Sāgata Thera, hearing this, went to Ambatittha and subdued the Nāga, afterwards rejoining the Buddha at Bhaddavatikā (Vin.iv.108f.; J.i.360f).

The town is probably identical with Bhaddavatī, and was in the Cetiya Country. Vin.iv.108.
