c10.56

In the Saṃkhapāla Jātaka (Jāt., V, p. 162) we are told that the Mahimsaka kingdom was near the Mount Candaka. It is stated that the Bodhisatta built a hut of leaves in the Mahimsaka kingdom, near the Mount Candaka, in a bend of the river Kaṇṇapaṇṇā, where it issues out of the lake Saṃkhapāla. It is the Malaya-giri, the Malabar Ghats.
