धातुराष्ट्र (dhAturASTra)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? dhātu-rāṣṭra, in °ṭropaśobhitāḥ Sukh 〔39.3〕, epithet of the rivers of Sukhāvatī
Müller, SBE 49.2, 〔p. 39〕, adorned with fields, full of metals. One mg. of Skt. dhātu is metal or mineral
if that is the mg. here, the cpd. might be rendered adorned with kingdoms characterized by minerals. I am very doubtful of this interpretation, but have no guess which seems to me plausible as to what dhātu, q.v., means here.
