Mahāparivena

A building attached to the Jetavana vihāra at Anurādhapura (Cv.l.67). Aggabodhi I. built the Bhinnorudīpa vihāra and gave it, with endowments, to an incumbent of the Mahāparivena (Cv.xlii.26) while Aggabodhi VII. enlarged the parivena by the addition of a pāsāda (Cv.xlviii.65). This was later destroyed by fire and rebuilt by Sena I. (Cv.l.67).
