(ganDakuwI, ganDa-kuwI)
gandha-kuṭī¦ (= Pali id.), name given to a special private cell of the Buddha (and a similar one of earlier Buddhas, so in Pali, and in Divy 333.4--5); esp. one at the Jetavana at Śrāvastī: Mvy 9151; Av i.96.4; ii.40.1; 153.11; Divy 46.5 and 13 (in both text with mss. °kūṭī); 333.4 (one ms. °kūṭī) and 6. (Divy., Index, wrongly °kūṭī). MSV ii.142.10 seems to imply that any monastery might be provided with one; in iii.133.6 ff. directions for its location (in general, in the center of a vihāra).
