	~~According~~ to the [[~~Sangiti~~ Sutta]], at the ~~time~~ the Buddha was ~~staying at Pava~~, the Mallas had just completed their new ~~Mote~~ hall~~, Ubbhataka, and, at~~ their invitation, the Buddha consecrated it by first occupying it and then preaching in it. After the Buddha had finished speaking, [[~~Sariputta~~]] recited the [[~~Digha Nikaya~~\|~~Sangiti Sutta~~]] to the assembled monks.		==Buddhist history==
			When the [[Gautama Buddha\|Buddha]] reached his eightieth year, he felt that his time in this world was approaching an end. At that time, according to the ''[[Mahāparinibbāṇa Sutta]]'' ([[Sutra\|Sutta]] 16 of the ''[[Dīgha Nikāya]]''), he and some of his disciples undertook a months-long journey that would take them from [[Rajgir\|Rājagṛha]], through [[Patna\|Pāṭaliputta]], [[Vaishali (ancient city)\|Vesāli]], [[Kesaria\|Bhoganagara]], and Pāvā, to their final destination at [[Kushinagar\|Kuśinagara]].<ref name=DN16>{{cite web\|title=Mahāparinibbāṇa Sutta (DN 16), translated from the Pali by Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu\|work=[[Dīgha Nikāya]] of the [[Pali Canon]]\|publisher=dhammatalks.org\|year=2022\|url=https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/DN/DN16.html\|accessdate=9 October 2022}}</ref> It was at Pāvā that [[Cunda Kammāraputta\|Cunda]], a resident of Pāvā, invited the group to a meal that featured a food called ''sukaramaddava''. This would prove to be the Buddha's last meal, as he was afflicted by a painful illness resembling [[dysentery]] soon after consuming the meal.<ref name=BDEA29>{{cite web\|title=The Buddha's Last Meal\|work=Life of the Buddha\|publisher=Buddha Dharma Education Association\|location=Tullera, NSW, Australia\|year=2008\|url=https://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhism/lifebuddha/2_29lbud.htm\|accessdate=9 October 2022}}</ref> It was on this occasion that the ''Cunda Sutta'' ([[Aṅguttara Nikāya\|AN]] 6:46) was preached.<ref name=AN646>{{cite web\|title=Cunda Sutta (AN 6:46), translated from the Pali by Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu\|work=[[Abhidhamma Piṭaka]] of the [[Pali Canon]]\|publisher=dhammatalks.org\|year=2022\|url=https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/AN/AN6_46.html\|accessdate=9 October 2022}}</ref> At that time, the Mallas had just completed their new meeting hall. Upon their invitation, the Buddha consecrated it by first occupying it and then preaching in it. After the Buddha had finished speaking, one of his leading disciples, [[Śāriputra]], recited the ''Saṅgīti Sutta'' ([[Dīgha Nikāya\|DN]] 33) to the assembled monks. After the meal, the Buddha crossed the Kakkuttha River (now called the Khanua River) and completed his journey to Kushinagar.<ref>D.ii.126 ff.; Ud.viii.5; the road from Pāvā to Kushinagar is mentioned several times in the mss. Vin.ii.284; D.ii.162.</ref> Soon after his arrival in Kushinagar, the Buddha attained ''[[parinirvana]]''. After the Buddha's [[cremation]], the Mallas of Pāvā claimed a share in his relics. A [[Brahmin]] named Drona satisfied their claim, and a [[stupa]] was erected in Pāvā over their share of the relics.<ref>D.ii.167; Bu.xxviii.3</ref>

	~~Pava~~ was also a ~~centre~~ of [[Jainism]] ~~and, at the time mentioned above,~~ [[~~Mahavira~~]] ~~had just died at Pava and his followers were divided by bitter wrangles.~~<ref>D.iii.210</ref> ~~Cunda Samanuddesa was spending his~~ [[~~Chaturmas~~\|~~rainy season~~]] at ~~Pava, and he reported~~ to the ~~Buddha, who was at~~ Samagama, ~~news~~ of the ~~[[Nirgrantha]]s’ quarrels~~.<ref>D.ii.117f; M.ii.243f</ref>		==Jain history==
			Besides being a center of Buddhists, Pāvā was also a center of [[Jainism]]. The ''Pasādika Sutta'' ([[Dīgha Nikāya\|DN]] 29) <ref>D.iii.210</ref> records the Buddha at Pāvā at the time [[Mahavira\|the leader of the Jains]] attained ''parinirvana'': "Once the Lord was staying among the Sakyans (at Pāvā) ... in the mango-grove belonging to the Vedhanna family (the Samagama). At that time the Nigantha Nātaputta (or Mahāvīra, the leader of the Jains) had just died ... And at his death the Niganthas (Jains) were split into two parties ...".<ref>D.ii.117f; M.ii.243f</ref>

'''Pava''' (now [[Padrauna]]) was a city in ancient [[India]], at the time of [[Mahavira]] and [[Gautama Buddha]]. It was a city of the [[Malla (India)|Malla]]s which the Buddha visited during his last journey, going there from Bhogagama and staying at [[Cunda (Buddhism)|Cunda]]'s mango grove. Pava is located about 15 kilometres east of [[Kushinagar]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]].

Cunda lived in Pava and invited the Buddha to a meal, which proved to be his last. It was on this occasion that the Cunda Sutta was preached.<ref>SNA.i. 159</ref> From Pava the Buddha journeyed on to Kushinagar, crossing the Kakkuttha River on the way<ref>D.ii.126 ff.; Ud.viii.5; the road from Pava to Kushinagar is mentioned several times in the books Vin.ii.284; D.ii.162.</ref>
