and also occur on the coins of the Andhra King Yajnasri (_c_. 200
A.D.) and in the sculptures of Boroboedoer. The Digha Nikaya (XI. 85)
speaks of sea-going ships which when lost let loose a land sighting
bird. Much information is collected in Radhakumud Mookerji's _History
of Indian Shipping_, 1912.]
[Footnote 248: Voyages are still regularly made in dhows between the
west coast of India and Zanzibar or Mombasa and the trade appears to
be old.]

Jatakas 360 and 442 mention voyages to Suvannabhumi or Lower
Burma from Bharukaccha and from Benares down the river. The Milinda
Panha (VI. 21) alludes to traffic with China by sea.]

[Footnote 260: When visiting Badami, Pattadkal and Aihole in
1912 I noted the following resemblances between the temples of that
district and those of Camboja. (_a_) The chief figures are Harihara,
Vamana and Nrisimha. At Pattadkal, as at Angkor Wat, the
