Disa (f) [Ved. dis & disa, to disati " pointing out," point
cp. Gr. ^iVi) = disa] point of the compass, region,
quarter, direction, bearings. The 4 principal points
usualy enum"* are puratthima (E) pacchima (W) dakkhina
(S) uttara (N), in changing order. Thus at

Pv II. 12' (caturo d.); PvA 52 (catusu disasu mrayo
catuhi dvarehi yutto), and passim. — To these are often
added the two locations '* above & below " as uparima
6 hetthima disa (also as uddhag adho S 111.124 e. g. ;
also called patidisa D 111.176), making in all 6 directions
: D III. 1 88 sq. As a rule, however, the circle is
completed by the 4 anudisa (intermediate points ; sometimes
as vidisa : S '• 1.224 iii-239 ; D in. 176 etc.), making
a round of 10 (dasa disa) to denote completeness, wide
range & all pervading comprehensiveness of states,
activities or other happening: Sn 719, 1122 (disa
catasso vidisa catasso uddharj adho : dasa disa imayo)

often substituted for 10 : S 1.75 ; D 11. 15 ; Pv 1.2' ; VvA
184; PvA 71. — anudisa (sg.) is often used collectively
for the 4 points in the sense of " in between," so that
the circle always implies the id points. Thus at S 1. 122 ;
III. 124. In other combinations as 6 abbreviated for 10 ;
four disa plus uddhar) & anudisai] at D 1.222 = A 111.368 ;

range of universal goodwill is further
denoted by uddhag adho tiriyag etc., e. g. D 1.250 ;

used allegorically (" set, circle ") for var. combinations,
