(cundadvIla, cunda-dvIla)
Cunda-dvīla¦ (v.l. -vīra), nt., or -dvīlā (v.l. -vīrā), f., n. of a locality (adhiṣṭhāna) between Aparagayā and Benares, home of the yakṣa Cunda (2): Mv iii.325.11 (nt.); 327.18 (fem.). Seems to be the same as Pali Cundatthiya, °ṭṭhila, °tthika, Pv iii.1.2 and comm. pp. 168--170 (cited DPPN as Cundaṭṭhīla, v.l. Cundavīla, but neither form is recorded in texts or Crit. App.).
