A lake, one of the seven great lakes of the Himavā (A.iv.101; AA.ii.759). It was fifty leagues long and fifty broad. In the middle of the lake, for a space of twelve leagues, the water was like a jewel and no weeds grew there. Around this space were seven girdles of lilies, each girdle of a different hue and each a league in extent. Round the lake were seven ranges of mountains — Cullakāla, Mahākāla, Udaka, Candapassa, Suriyapassa, Manipassa and Suvaṇṇapassa, the last range being seven leagues in height and of a golden hue on the side overlooking the lake. On the west side of the lake was the Kañcanaguhā, twelve leagues in extent, where the elephant-king lived. J.v.37.
