Answer 2

Answer:

According to Buddhist tradition, Kapilavastu is the name of the ancient city where Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha, was raised and lived until the age of 29, when he renounced worldly life. There is some controversy about the exact location of Kapilavastu. Some versions say that it is located in present-day Rummindei, in the Terai region of Southern Nepal, about 10 kilometres west of Lumbini (the birthplace of the Siddhartha Gautama) not far from the Indian-Nepalese border. Other versions hold that Kapilavastu is located in Northern India, and that the Piprahwa village used to be within Kapilavastu.

The Hometown of the Buddha

A Pali Buddhist source known as the Dathavansa, claims that Kapilavastu was built by the sons of Ikshvaku, the ruler of one of the states in Northern India, with the permission of the Indian philosopher Kapila, who lived probably about two centuries before the time of the Buddha. The city was sanctified in the memory of Kapila. It is interesting to note that the Buddha was well versed in the philosophy of Kapila and was certainly influenced by it.
