Merukaṇḍara

A district in Malaya (in Sri Lanka) often sought as a place of refuge — e.g., by Kassapa, son of Upatissa III. (Cv.xli.19); Jetthatissa, son of Asiggāhaka Sanghatissa (Cv.xliv.28) and Potthakuttha (Cv.xlvii.58).

Vijayabāhu I gave Merukaṇḍara as dowry to his daughter, Yasodharā, who married Vīravaṇṇa (Cv.lix.27).

The village of Vacāvātaka was in Merukaṇḍara. Cv.lxx.282.
