Jātiyāvana
					
					Jātiyāvana:A grove near Bhaddiya. 
The Buddha,when once staying there,laid down a rule about the use of slippers by monks (Vin.i.189f; DhA.iii.451).There the banker Mendaka visited him and provided meals for him and the monks (DhA.iii.363; Vin.i.242f).Mendaka’s grandson,Uggaha,did likewise (A.iii.36f).
The Buddha once stayed in Jātiyāvana for three months,waiting for the ripening of Bhaddaji’s wisdom,ready for his conversion (J.ii.331; ThagA.i.286). 
The Sutta Vibhanga (Vin.iii.37f) contains the story of an arahant on whom a woman committed a misdemeanour while he was sleeping in Jātiyāvana.
Buddhaghosa (AA.ii.597) says that the grove formed part of a forest track extending up to the Himālaya.
