Pāvā

Pāvā was an important city of the Malla tribe of ancient India at the time of the Haryanka dynasty of Magadha.

It is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Kushinagar in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.

Likely candidates include: When the Buddha reached his eightieth year, he felt that his time in this world was approaching an end.

After the Buddha had finished speaking, one of his leading disciples, Śāriputra, recited the Saṅgīti Sutta (DN 33) to the assembled monks.

A Brahmin named Drona satisfied their claim, and a stupa was erected in Pāvā over their share of the relics.
