pura: a hilly place near Chunār in Mirzapur district, according to Pāli literature the capital of Bhagga country (JAIN, Life p. 339 s.v. Sumsumāraor Susumārapura); for Chunär see QIM 63 K/16/5 (T.I., p. 213).--Note that My.'s hair (!) is fanned by the wind caused by Sakka's fist when he grabs at the vajja : me ... mutthi-vāenam kes'agge viitthā.- Among the names of the non-Aryan tribes Sabara (sa), Bubbara (Barbara) and Pulinda are, at least in later language, applied to any savage or barbarous people. Originally they may have inhabited Gwalior territory, the north-west frontier of India and the Vindhya resp. (JAIN, Life p. 358 seqq.). The Țankaņā lived 'in the middle portion of the Himalayas' (ibid., p. 342). The Palhayā (Pahlava) are the Parthians or Persians. According to JAIN, 0.c. p. 359 Bhuttuya (missing in the PSM) probably is Bhotiya (= Bhoțiya) "Tibetan'.
