Dear Venerable Pesalo,

The Dictionary of Pali Proper Names has an entry for "Suppaara,
Suppaaraka" in which it says that it is a seaport in India and also
has:

"Suppaaraka (Skt. Surparaka) is identified with the modern Sopaara in
the Thaana district, to the north of Bombay." -- p. 1223

Best wishes,
Jim

<< Suppaarakapa.t.tĀµanatiira.m is the mentioned in the Dhammapada
commentary
as the place where Baahiyadaaruciriiya was shipwrecked. Anyone have
any
idea where it is? >>
