[Footnote 371:  Ram.  IV. 40. 30.  Yavadvipam saptarajyopasobhitam Suvarnarupyakadvipam suvarnakaramanditam.]

[Footnote 372:  Ptolemy’s Geography, VII. 2. 29 (see also VIII. 27, 10). [Greek:  Iabadiou (e Sabadiou), ho semainei krithes, nesos.  Euphorotate de legetai he nesos einai kai eti pleiston chruson poiein, echein te metropolin onoma Arguren epi tois dusmikois perasin.]]

[Footnote 373:  The Milinda Panha of doubtful but not very late date also mentions voyages to China.]

[Footnote 374:  Groeneveldt, Notes on the Malay Archipelago compiled from Chinese sources, 1876 (cited below as Groeneveldt), p. 10.  Confirmed by the statement in the Ming annals book 324 that in 1432 the Javanese said their kingdom had been founded 1376 years before.]

[Footnote 375:  Kern in Versl. en Med.  K. Ak. v.  W. Afd.  Lett. 3 Rks.  I. 1884, pp. 5-12.]

[Footnote 376:  Chap.  XL.  Legge, p. 113, and Groeneveldt, pp. 6-9.]

[Footnote 377:  He perhaps landed in the present district of Rembang “where according to native tradition the first Hindu settlement was situated at that time” (Groeneveldt, p. 9).]

[Footnote 378:  Groeneveldt, p. 9.  The transcriptions of Chinese characters given in the following pages do not represent the modern sound but seem justified (though they cannot be regarded as certain) by the instances collected in Julien’s Methode pour dechiffrer et transcrire les noms sanscrits.  Possibly the syllables Do-a-lo-pa-mo are partly corrupt and somehow or other represent Purnavarman.]

[Footnote 379:  Kern in Versl. en Meded, Afd.  Lett. 2 R. XI. D. 1882.]

[Footnote 380:  Groeneveldt, pp. 12, 13.]

[Footnote 381:  Groeneveldt, p. 14.]

[Footnote 382:  History of Java, vol.  II. chap.  X.]

[Footnote 383:  Jackson, Java and Cambodja.  App.  IV. in Bombay Gazetteer, vol.  I. part 1, 1896.]

[Footnote 384:  It is also possible that when the Javanese traditions speak of Kaling they mean the Malay Peninsula.  Indians in those regions were commonly known as Kaling because they came from Kalinga and in time the parts of the Peninsula where they were numerous were also called Kaling.]

[Footnote 385:  See for this question Pelliot in B.E.F.E.O. 1904, pp. 274 ff.  Also Schlegel in T’oung Pao, 1899, p. 247, and Chavannes, ib. 1904, p. 192.]

[Footnote 386:  Chap. xxxix.  Schiefner, p. 262.]

[Footnote 387:  Though he expressly includes Camboja and Champa in Koki, it is only right to say that he mentions Nas-gling (=Yava-dvipa) separately in another enumeration together with Ceylon.  But if Buddhists passed in any numbers from India to Camboja and vice versa, they probably appeared in Java about the same time, or rather later.]

[Footnote 388:  See Kamaha. pp. 9, 10, and Watters, Yuan Chwang, II. pp. 209-214.]
