Ojadīpa

The name given to Sri Lanka in the time of Kakusandha Buddha.

Its capital was Abhayanagara and its king Abhaya.

The Buddha visited Ojadīpa and occupied the Mahātittha garden (Mhv.xv.57 ff; Dpv.i.73; ix.20; xvii.5, 16, 23; xv.35‑8; Sp.i.83).

Its mountain was Devakūṭa, the modern Pilayakūṭa (Mbv.126).
