[Footnote 130:  So too Prome is called Srikshetra and the name Irrawaddy represents Iravati (the modern Ravi).  The ancient town of Sravasti or 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.]
