[2][5] Kumashpur was known as "Kammasadamma" in pali language Buddhist texts and the "Kamas Nigam" in Sanskrit texts, which later came to be known as "Kamas Dham", and finally in its present corrupted form as "Kumashpura" which has been shortened to "Kumashpur".
In 545 BCE, Buddha visited "Kammasadamma" as mentioned in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism.
Buddha said he chose this place for "Mahasatipatthana" because it was the land of virtuous and moral Kuru people who practiced sila (five core tenets of Buddhism), hence they were more suited to receive and grasp the details of "Mahasatipatthana sutta".
