Manosilātala

Place

हिमालय क्षेत्र में अनोतत्त झील के निकट एक स्थान, जहाँ आळवक एक बार बुद्ध को धमकाते हुए एक पैर पर खड़ा हुआ था, बाद में इसे लगभग साठ योजन तक फैले सिंहों के निवास स्थान के रूप में वर्णित किया गया।

A locality in Himavā. When Āḷavaka threatened the Buddha he stood with his left foot on Manosilātala and his right on Kelāsa (SNA.i.223). Manosilātala was near Anotatta, and those who bathed in the lake dried and robed themselves there (e.g., J.i.232; iii.379). It was also a resort of lions (J.ii.65) and was sixty leagues in extent (J.ii.92, 219). Above it was the Kañcanaguhā (J.v.392) and below it the Kālapabbata. J.vi.265.
