A famous sanghārāma was that of [[Kukkutarama|Kukkuṭārāma]] in [[Pataliputra|Pāṭaliputra]]. The Kukkutura sanghārāma was later destroyed and its monks killed by [[Pushyamitra|Puṣyamitra]] of Mauryan lineage, according to the second century ''[[Ashokavadana|Aśokāvadāna]]''. "Then King Pushyamitra equipped a fourfold army, and intending to destroy the [[Buddhist religion]], he went to the Kukkutarama. (...) Pushyamitra therefore destroyed the sanghārāma, killed the monks there, and departed."Ashokavadana, 133, trans. John Strong.
