Kañcanapabbata
1. Kañcanapabbata.- A mountain in HimavÄ (J.ii.396ff). It was near Kañcana-guhÄ, and on it grew the Abbhantaramba of Vessavana. On the mountain, in a hut, lived the ascetic Jotirasa, tending the sacred fire. The mountain formed one of the salient features of the HimÄlaya region (J.v.415). It is in the northern quarter of HimavÄ, and from its slopes flows the SÄ«dÄnadÄ« (J.vi.101). In the Nimi JÄtaka (J.vi.100) mention is made of two KañcanapabbatÄ between which the SÄ«dÄnadÄ« flows. The mountain is sometimes referred to as Kañcanagiri (e.g., UdA.411) and sometimes as Suvaṇṇapabbata (J.vi.100). The Buddha Sumana held his second assembly of disciples on the Kañcanapabbata, when ninety thousand crores of people were present (J.i.34).
