The visit was to Nagadipa (present-day Jaffna Peninsula in northern Sri Lanka). \nTwo Naga kings\, Chulodara and Mahodara\, were preparing for war over a gem-studded throne\, gifted to Chulodara by his father and claimed by Mahodara. Their armies gathered for battle\, threatening destruction and bloodshed. \nThe Buddha appeared at Nagadipa\, radiating compassion and wisdom. Through his sermon (Dhamma Desana)\, he taught the futility of hatred and the value of peace and harmony. The kings and their followers were moved\, renounced their anger\, and reconciled. \nThe event highlights the Buddha's role as a peacemaker and teacher of non-violence. It established Sri Lanka as a land touched directly by the Buddha\, reinforcing the island's sacred Buddhist heritage. \nThe story reflects central Buddhist values: hatred is not overcome by hatred\, but by love and compassion.
