page 684 note 1 The expression in the original is Himavanta-padēsabhāga, which might be rendered “ a part of the region of the Himavanta; ” especially in view of the fact that, according to Buddhaghōsha, the Thēra Majjhantika, who was deputed to Kashmīr and Gandhāra, converted also numbers of Yakkhas, Gandhabbas, and Kumbhaṇḍas, dwelling on Himavanta. But that appears to have been done by Majjhantika en route to the country or countries —(the Dīpavaṁsa mentions only Gandhāra)— to which he had been sent. And padēsabhāga seems to be constantly used in Pāli in the sense of simply the Sanskrit pradēśa, dēśa, ‘ region, country.’
