Mahisamaṇḍala

Place

Also known as Mahiṃsamaṇḍala

Un pays converti par l’ancien Mahādeva, qui y enseigna le Devadūta Sutta, généralement identifié au Mysore actuel, bien que selon un point de vue sa capitale ait été Māhissati, sur une île de la rivière Narbadā

v.l. Mahiṃsamaṇḍala.– A country, converted by the Thera Mahādeva, who taught the Devadūta Sutta there (Mhv.xii.4, 29; Dpv.viii.5; Sp.i.63).

The country is generally regarded as the modern Mysore.

However, see J. R.A.S.1910, 429 ff., where the author says that Māhissati was its capital and that it was an island in the Narbadā River; see also Mhv.Trs.84, n.5.
