Mahāpariveṇa
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 Mahāpariveṇa (Cv.xlii.26) while Aggabodhi VII enlarged the pariveṇa by the addition of a pāsāda (Cv.xlviii.65). This was later destroyed by fire and rebuilt by Sena I. (Cv.l.67).
