Dear Pali friends,

I am told that in Buddhist legend the heaven of the Thirty-three gods is located on the top of Mount Sineru (Sumeru); asuras live in the area at the foot of the mountain; and the Four Great Kings reside on each side of the mountain. But I do not see this information in the Sakka Samyutta.

This Samyutta has no mention of Monut Sineru, but does mention the wars between asuras and Sakka, and the haven of the Four Great Kings. I may overlook the text. Does anyone know which Pali text (s) records the legend of Monut Sineru (in connection to the Thirty-three gods)?

Thank you.
