A locality in Ceylon, perhaps in Piyangudípa. 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 Mahádhammadinna, under the name of Talangaratissapabbata (elsewhere (MT.606, n.2) called Válangatissapabbata). There was a cave in it called Devarakkhitalena.
According to the Majjhima Commentary (i.149f), Talangaratissapabbata was in Rohana, and between it and Tissamaháráma lay the monasteries of Hankana and Cittalapabbata. v.l. Talanka, Tálankara, Tálanganagara.
