r Savatthi is said to reappear in the three forms Tharawaddy, Tharawaw and Thawutti.] [Footnote 131: See _Indian Antiquary_, 1893, p. 6, and Forchhammer on the Mahamuni Pagoda in _Burmese Archaeological Report_ (? 1890).] [Footnote 132: Dipav. VIII. 12, and in a more embellished form in Mahavamsa XII. 44-54. See also the Kalyani Inscriptions in _Indian Ant._ 1893, p. 16.] [Footnote 133: Through the form Saton representing Saddhan. Early European travellers called it Satan or Xatan.] [Footnote 134: The Burmese identify Aparantaka and Yona to which Asoka also sent missionaries with Upper Burma and the Shan country. But this seems to be merely a misapplication of Indian names.] [Footnote 135: See Forchhammer, _Jardine Prize Essay_, 1885, pp. 23-27. He also says that the earliest Talaing alphabet is identical with the Vengi alphabet of the fourth century A.D. _Burma Archaeol. Report_, 1917, p. 29.] [Footnote 136: See R.C. Temple, "Notes on Antiquities of Ramannadesa," _Ind. Antiq._ 1893, pp. 327 ff. Though I admit the possibility that Mahayanism and Tantrism may have flourished in lower Burma, it does not seem to me that the few Hindu figures reproduced in this article prove very much.] [Footnote 137: _J.A._ 1912, II. pp. 121-136.] [Footnote 138: It is remarkable that Buddhaghosa commenting on Ang. Nik. 1. 14. 6 (quoted by Forchhammer) describes the merchants of Ukkala as inhabiting Asitanjana in the region of Hamsavati or Pegu. This identification of Ukkala with Burmese territory is a mistake but accepted in Burma and it is more likely that a Burmese would have made it than a Hindu.] [Footnote 139: Chap. XXXIX.] [Footnote 140: See however _Epig. Indica_, vol. V. part iv. Oct. 1898, pp. 101-102. For the prevalence of forms which must be derived from Sanskrit not Pali see _Burma Arch. Rep._ 1916, p. 14, and 1917, p. 39.] [Footnote 141: Report of _Supt. Arch. Survey Burma_, 1909, p. 10, 1910, p. 13, and 1916, pp. 33, 38. Finot, _Notes d'Epigraphie_, p. 357.] [Footnote 142: See especially Finot in _J.A._ 1912, II. p. 123, and Huber in _B.E.F.E.O._ 1909 P. 584.] [Footnote 143: The Aris are further credited with having practised a sort of _jus primae noctis_. See on this question the chapter on Camboja and alleged similar customs there.] [Footnote 144: See _Burma Arch. Rep._ 1916, pp. 12, 13. They seem to have been similar to the Nilapatanadarsana of Ceylon. The Prabodhacandrodaya (about 1100 A.
