  • Valabhāmukha

A sea (samudda), the last of those seen by Suppāraka on his voyage. Here the water is sucked away and rises on every side, leaving in the centre what looks like a deep pit. Suppāraka, by an Act of Truth, prevented his ship from being sunk there (see the Suppāraka Jātaka). It is also called Valabhāmukhī. J. iv.142.
