Hi that link says Jambudvipa is in the bible, but the reference they use is not the bible. Can you please provide me with the page and line where Jambudvipa is referenced in the bible?rajitha7 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 21, 2018 2:17 pm

Atto is a Sinhala word as well. It means "individual". So one who sees phenomena as fruitful (atta) is an "atto".

The Bible says something along these lines "The merchants who having go to Jambudvip in the Southern sea to fetch great and precious gems feel refreshed after hearing the siblime lore of the Buddha". The comment made before 1890 says its Ceylon. The comment was made before the Buddha history revised incorrectly around 1890.
This is another reference with the correct history.
