Serissaka1Serīsaka

A vimāna in the Cātummahārājika world, which was occupied by Pāyāsi during his life there. Gavampati, who used to go there for his siesta, met him and had a conversation with him, which he reported to the Buddha. DN.ii.356f. The deva of the vimāna was also called Serīsaka, and is evidently to be identified with the Yakkha Serissaka.
