Tiyaggala-pokkharaṇī

Place

हिमालय क्षेत्र की एक झील, जो उस स्थान पर बनी है जहाँ अनोतत्त झील से निकलने वाली नदी हवा में गिरकर तियग्गल चट्टान पर टकराती है, जिससे पचास योजन चौड़ा एक गड्ढा बन गया है।

A lake in Himavā (J.v.415; DA.i.164). The river flowing from the eastern side of Anotatta, after having travelled along a rocky bed for sixty leagues, falls through the air for a distance of sixty leagues, on to the rock Tiyaggala.

The column of water is three quarters of a league in width and, as a result of the impact, the rock is hollowed out into a lake, the Tiyaggala-pokkharaṇī, fifty leagues wide. SNA.ii.439; AA.ii.760; UdA.302, etc.
