アラダナ ガラ
アヌラーダプラの東 8 マイル、アヌラーダプラとトリンコマリー間の道路の近くに、高さ 1,000 フィート (300 m) の山岳地帯の頂上の 1 つである「ミサカ パバタ」があります。地理的には、この山脈は 3 つの主要な丘で構成されています: マンゴーのアンバスタラ高原。ラジャギリ、王の山、アーナイクディ、象の山。 「Aanaikuddy」という言葉はタミル語です。したがって、この山脈はタミル人、おそらくタミル仏教の僧侶と何らかのつながりがあるはずです。
ディパヴァムサとマハーヴァムサによれば、テーラ・マヒンダはポソン月(6月)の満月の日にインドからスリランカに来て、デーヴァナンピヤティッサ王と民衆に会い、教義を説いた。この集会が行われた伝統的な場所は、スリランカの仏教徒によって尊敬されています。したがって、ポソンの月には、仏教徒はアヌラーダプラとミヒンタレーへの巡礼を行います。
シンハラ語でミヒン・タレは文字通り「ミヒンドゥーの高原」を意味します。この高原は、アラハト・ミヒンドゥーが飛行中の鹿を撃つことを阻止するために、デヴァナンピヤティッサ王を名前で呼んだとされる丘の上の平らな地形です。したがって、「ミヒン タレ」は特にシンハラ語です。この場所は、地元の言葉「シンハラ語」で、今もそう呼ばれています。地元の言葉を研究すれば、これについて十分な証拠が得られます。したがって、この名前「ミヒン ターレ」がタミル語の名前マヒンダ マライに由来するという推測は誤りであり、根拠がありません。
ここはセティヤギリまたはサギリと呼ばれていたと言われていますが、スリランカの仏教発祥の地であるミヒンタレーとして広く知られていました。
アラダナ ガラは丘の頂上にあり、マハ セヤに面しています。非常に風の強い天候でも、巡礼者は必ずこの岩を訪れます。登るのに役立つ鉄の手すりが付いています。 『マハヴァムサ』などの古代の書物には、マヒンダが空の旅でスリランカに来たと書かれています。彼は降りてきて、アラダナ・ガラの頂上にあるスリランカに着陸しました。
