Mṛgaśikhāvana

Mìlìjiāxītābōnuó (蜜栗伽悉他鉢娜), believed to be a Chinese transcription of Mṛgasthāpana or Mṛgaśikhāvana, was the site of a Buddhist establishment in eastern India. It is mentioned in the writings of the Chinese traveler Yijing, who states that king Shìlìjíduō (室利笈多, identified with the 3rd century king Gupta) had constructed a temple for Chinese Buddhist pilgrims near it.
