A river, on the banks of which Vasabba Thera, in a previous birth as the matted haired ascetic (jatila) Nārada, erected a pulina (sand) cetiya which was smeared with gold in memory of earlier Buddhas (Thag A.ii.16).
In the Apadāna, Vasabha Thera is referred to as Pulinathūpiyatthera, and the river Apadika as Amarika (var. Aparika Ap.ii.p.437).
