A locality in Ceylon, perhaps in Piyangudīpa. It is known chiefly as having been the residence of the Elder Dhammadinna. Mhv.xxxii.52; VbhA.389, 489; Vsm.392, 834. It may be the place mentioned in the Saddhammasangaha (p.88) as the residence of Mahādhammadinna, under the name of Talangaratissapabbata (elsewhere (MT.606, n.2) called Vālangatissapabbata). There was a cave in it called Devarakkhitalena. According to the Majjhima Commentary (i.149f), Talangaratissapabbata was in Rohana, and between it and Tissamahārāma lay the monasteries of Hankana and Cittalapabbata. v.l.
