Paṇḍava

1. Paṇḍava.– The horse of Sāma, king of Bārāṇasī; his trainer was Giridanta (J.ii.98). See Giridanta Jātaka.

2. Paṇḍava.– A hill near Rājagaha, under the shadow of which the Buddha ate his meal when he begged alms in Rājagaha, soon after leaving home. (J.i.66; SN.vs.414; DhA.i.85; Thag.vs.41, 1167; Mtu.ii.198, etc.)

It is said (SNA.ii.383 f) that ascetics lived on its eastern slope. It seems formerly to have borne another name (M.iii.68). Paṇḍava was one of the halting-places of Sīvalī Thera when on his way to the Himavā. AA.i.139.

3. Paṇḍava.– Adjective from Paṇḍu. e.g., Cv.lxxxvii.29.
