context_page_description: Allakappa was, in Buddhist tradition, one of the eight republics to whom were given the relics of the Buddha upon his death, or Parinirvana.
  Initially, the relics had been kept exclusively by the Mallas of Kusinagara, where the Buddha died, but following the War of the relics, the relics were spread between eight cities or Republics by Drona the Brahmin. The seven other Republics or cities were Rajagriha, Vaishali, Kapilavastu, Ramagrama, Pava, Kushinagar, and Vethadipa.
  The people of Allakappa were called the Bulayas or Bulis. They were located somewhere in Bihar, in the historical area of the Buddha, but they are mentioned only in the Digha Nikaya.
  Once received by the Bulis, the relics were stored inside a stupa.
