pubbakoṭṭhakā

A bathing place in Sāvatthī, near the Migāramātupāsāda, and therefore to the east of the city. Mention is made AN.iii.345 of the Buddha having bathed there. It was evidently extensive, for Pasenadi’s state elephant Seta also bathed there to the accompaniment of music. The bathing place was probably near the Pubbakoṭṭhaka (? Eastern Gatehouse) of Sāvatthī, where the Buddha is said to have stayed. SN.v.220 The bathing place seems also to have been called Pubbakoṭṭhaka. Near by was the hermitage of the brahmin Rammaka.
