Masakkasāra

Other

실제로는 그 천계가 세워진 흔들리지 않는 산인 시네루산을 가리키는, 삭까의 거처 따와띵사의 다른 이름.

A name given to Tāvatiṃsa, the abode of Vāsava (Sakka) (J.v.167; vi. 272, 289, 400; VvA.350).

The scholiast explains (J.v.168; vi. 272) that Masakkasāra is really the name of Mount Sineru, so called because it is immovable (Masakkasāro vuccati osakkana parisakkanābhāvena ghanasāratāya ca Sinerupabbarājā), and Tāvatiṃsa came to be known as Masakkasāra because it was built on Sineru.
