Giridipā
Place부처님이 방문하실 때 야차들을 옮기기 위해 본토 가까이 끌어당겼다가 이후 원래 자리로 되돌리셨다고 전해지는 스리랑카 인근의 섬.
An island near Sri Lanka. When the Buddha visited Sri Lanka he drew Giridipā up to Sri Lanka, told the yakkhas to go onto it, and then restored it to its former place (Mhv.i.30; Dpv.i.67 f). Geiger (Mhv.Trs., p.4, n.4) thinks that the reference is not to an island, but to the highlands (giri) in the interior of Sri Lanka.
