From each Etkanda and Angangala Vihares, 500 priests 

 assembled at the_poy« ge for convocation; and owing to the bell 

 which was hung to invite the priests to the dining hall, Gedige- 

 pattuwa was so called, and adjoins Udaivahalaivatta-vela. 



The pond on Ibbagala was named VetaJceyiyd-pokuna, 

 owing to the vetakeyiyd trees growing there. 



The pond on Eta-gala was called Avumdha-pokuna, from 

 the fact of the medicinal plants and creepers growing in it.

 Vistaraya).
