samvejanīya-tthāna

'places rousing emotion', are 4:

  • the place where the Perfect One was born, (i.e. the Lumbini-grove near Kapilavatthu, at the present frontier of Nepal);

  • the place where he reached Full Enlightenment (i.e. Uruvela, the modern Ureli, and Buddhagayā, on the Nerañjara-river; the modern Lilanja);

  • the place where he, for the first time, unveiled the Dhamma to the world (i.e. the deer-park at Isipatana near Benares);

  • the place where he entered the final Nibbāna (i.e. Kusināra). (A. IV, 118).
