Mahisamaṇḍala

Place

Also known as Mahiṃsamaṇḍala

마하데바 장로가 개종시키고 그곳에서 데바두타경을 설한 나라로, 일반적으로 현대의 마이소르와 동일시되지만, 그 수도가 나르바다강 섬에 있던 마힛사티였다는 견해도 있다

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.
