Going by wobbly memory alone, in addition to Sankassa and Kannakujja mentioned above, I added the following locations (and copied in descriptions) to the map: Bārānasī, Pātaligāma, Gonaddha, Vedisa, Devadaha and Koliyā. There are likely to be a few more, but unfortunately as I say, it didn’t occur to me to keep track.
Also, when plotting the parinibbana journey I added Nāḷandā which Ven. Sujato has mentioned is the same place as Nāla. The descriptions are fractionally different.
I’m not quite sure if/how this is relevant at your end.
Thanks. The new ones I have added and you can see them on SC, but I did not check all the descriptions so if there are any changes made in there, they won’t have been updated on the dppn.
Super. I thought the only descriptions I’d touched were the ones for the locations I’d added, but then I recalled the couple of points handled earlier in this thread as a result of which:
In Jambugāma’s decription the following was removed:
probably a suburb of Campā
In Kāḷasilā’s description,
It was there that Moggallāna was murdered and that Godhika SN.i.120f. and Vakkali SN.iii.124 committed suicide.
was changed to:
It was there that Godhika SN.i.120f. and Vakkali SN.iii.124 committed suicide.
what do you think of plotting such locations as Bālaklonakāragāma (a village) [doesn’t have its own entry in the DPPN] and Pācīnavaṁsadāya (a park)?
both are mentioned in MN 128 and according to DPPN were situated between Kosambi and Pārileyya
When the Buddha found that he could not persuade the Kosambi monks to refrain from quarrelling, he left Kosambi alone and unattended, and passing through Balaklonakaragama and Pacinavamsadaya, went to Parileyyaka
The park (Pacinavamsadaya) lays between Balakalonakaragama and the Parileyyakavana
at the absence of the information of their exact or likely location, maybe the relative one will suffice
As long as we have an approximate location to distinguish it, that’s good enough. I mean, it’s not like people are going to get lost following their GPS of early Buddhism!
I have no idea. It’s only mentioned, apparently, as being in the land of the Sumbha people, about who we know nothing. And its name varies with Desaka; which just means “a place”. The commentary to SN 47.19 helpfully says that “among the Sumbha people” means evaṃnāmake janapade: “That’s the name of the country”.
Not too much to ask of me at all, but it almost killed my computer (I don’t think my graphics card likes the sweltering UK heat nor the poxy fan I have ;))!
Anyway, I added Pācīnavaṁsadāya. Bālakaloṇakāra / Bākalonakārāgama / Bālakalonakārāma was actually already listed as in the town & village section although was originally located as being just on the other side of the Ganges. I converted it to a question mark location (as Pārileyya too is a question mark) and moved it in-line with your suggestion.
