A locality in Ceylon. It was here that Dutthagāmani subdued the Tamil chief Mahākottha (Mhv.Xxv.11). Later, King Manāvamma built the Devavihāra at Antarasobbha (Cv.lviii.4). The Majjhima Nikāya Commentary (ii.1024) mentions that Mallyadeva preached the Mahāsalāyatanika Sutta here, and that on that occasion sixty monks became arahants.
