Discovery of the country of Pava where Cunda the blacksmith lived. "Parsa village."This is a video of Parsa village which Buddhists mispronounce as Pava. In the Mahaparinirvana story the Buddha goes to the country of Pava from Bhoganagara. Bhoganagara is Bhagwanpur chowk in Muzaffarpur town while Pava is Parsa village in Bettiah district. It was here in Cundas mango grove the Buddha stayed and ate pork. The off shoot is the place is today known as 'Sugaili' which I have deciphered as 'Sugar-Khauli' which means to eat pork. The Buddha continued travelling north west but soon tired out and rested under a tree. He asked Anand to get water from the Kohra river. The river was muddy. This is exactly what Kohra means. Other places mentioned in the Maha Parinirvana are nearby so Parsa village is certainly the Pava of Buddhist scriptures. The area of Cunda the blacksmiths house is known as 'Parsa Tola Arazi Chakw'. Chakw is Cundas real name. Cunda is a foreign Buddhist mispronunciation of Chakw. This village is inhabited by Bhumihar Brahmins with the Kashyap gotra. Their sub gotra is Mallya. So they are the Mallas of Pava mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. Enjoy the video of the country of Pava.
