Suvaṇṇabhūmi
Suvaṇṇabhūmi (Pāli). Name of a country, variously identified with the region of Lower
Burma around
Pagān, a locality in Bengal, and part of Thailand and Sumatra. Most probably it refers to the
Mon coastal lands stretching from the frontier with Arakan to parts of present-day Malaya. After the
Third Council (see
Council of Pāṭaliputra II), the elders Soṇa and Uttara visited the region in order to convert it to
Buddhism.
