Dvāravatī

Place

Also known as Dvāraka

인도의 바다와 산 사이에 있는 도시로, 침입자를 피하기 위해 공중으로 떠오를 수 있는 수호신에 의해 보호받았으나, 안다카웬후다사풋따가 사슬로 묶어 놓았다. 또한 시위 왕의 수도이기도 했다.

A city in India. It had the sea on one side and a mountain on the other. The Andhakaveṇhudāsa-puttā tried to take it but in vain, because when the goblin, guarding the city, gave the alarm, the city would rise up in the air and settle on the sea until the enemy disappeared. They then sought Kaṇhadīpāyana’s advice and fixed the city down with chains. This enabled the Andhākaveṇhudāsaputtā to capture it and make it their capital (J.iv.82 ff). It was also the capital of King Sivi (J.vi.421). The Petavatthu and its Commentary (Pv.ii.9; PvA.113) speak of Dvāravati as a city of Kamboja. It may be Kamsabhoja that is meant, the country of the Andhakavenhudāsaputtā.
