vAlikAnagara
vālikā-nagara ( cf. AMg. vālua-ppabhā, °ppahā, JM. vāluā-puḍhavī, n. of a particular hell), sand-city ; possibly, like the Pkt. words, n. of an infernal locality; but possibly rather a mirage-city , seen in the sands of a desert: dhig bhavāṃ sarada-abhra-saṃnibhā, vālikānagara-rūpa-saṃnibhā Mv i.74.(8—)9 , fie on the states of existence which resemble an autumn cloud or a ‘sand-city’ . A third possibility might be a city built of or on sand , hence not substantial.
