In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA city in India, capital of King Milinda (Mil.pp.1, 3, etc.).
In various Jatakas - e.g.,
the Kalingabodhi (J.iv.230) and the Kusa (J.v.283), and also in the scholiast of the Mahaummagga (J.vi.471, 473) -Sagala is mentioned as the capital of the Madda kings. It was also evidently called Sakala. (E.g., Mahabharata 14, 32; tatah Sakalam abhyetva Madranam putabhedanam).
Sagala was the birthplace of Khema Theri, (ThigA.127; Ap.ii.546; AA.i.187) of Bhadda Kapilani, (ThigA.68; Ap.ii.583; AA.i.99) and of Queen Anoja (DhA.ii.116).
It is said (DhA.iii.281f.; cp. the story of Anitthigandha, a Pacceka Buddha, given in SNA.i.69) that when Aritthigandhakumara refused to marry any woman unless she resembled a golden image possessed by him, the messengers sent by his parents found a girl in Sagala who possessed the necessary requirements, but she was delicate, and died on her way from Sagala to Savatthi.
It is perhaps the same city which is mentioned in the Vinaya (Vin.iii.67) as the residence of Dalhika.
Sagala is identified with the modern Sialkot in the Paijab (Law, Geog. 53).
Therav膩da is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
India history and geography
: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early BuddhismS膩gala (啶膏ぞ啶椸げ) is the name of a locality situated in Uttar膩patha (Northern District) of ancient India, as recorded in the P膩li Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).鈥擨n the Milindapa帽ho we are told that King Milinda (Menander), a powerful Graeco-Bactrian King, ruling over the Madda country with S膩gala as his capital became a convert to Buddhism. That S膩gala or S膩kala (modern Sialkot in the Punjab) was the capital of the Madra country is also attested to by the Mah膩bh膩rata, as also by several J膩takas (cf. the K膩岣穒峁単abodhi J膩taka and the Kusa J膩taka).
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
