the flight of his son TuantaxumAn, and his daughter Hemacnata to Lanca ; 
their subsequent voyage, for holy purposes, to the peninsula of Malacca, 
and of their return to their own country. 
The second country visited by BuppHa was, according to this account, 
P harandsi or Varandsi, or Benares, the Casi, or Casidia, of Ptolemy. It is 
the first of the Solasa Nagara, or sixteen countries described, or alluded to, 
in the Milinda Raja; and in which shrines were raised over the relics of 
Buppwa. The sixteen heavens are invoked by the Buddhists of Siam. 
His third journey was to Raja Gaha, or Girha ; which the Siamese term 
Racha K hrut,haburi, and place towards Thibet. Its site is too well known to 
require description. In the Milinda Raja, Raja Gaha is the first in order 
of eight countries described as those into which relics were conveyed from 
Manya Raga of Kusinaraké, by messengers sent to solicit them of’ him. 
The fourth journey of Bupp,na was to Sawathipuri, or, according to some, 
to Wesaliydpuri ; which last is the name of the second of eight countries 
alluded to in the A/ilinda Raja, as those into which relics of BuppjHa

The seventh journey was to Kalachampaka, the Champaka of the Bali, 
situated in the south, and probably Chumpa Nagar; where there is a Jain 
temple containing two sacred feet, as described by Lieut.-Col. Francklin. 
In the eighth place Bupp Ma ascended into Savatingsa, the heaven of Inpra, 
situated on the mountain whose summit touches the constellation of the alli- 
gator: he had, long before this period, assumed the yellow mantle, the 
symbol of the priesthood. His object in visiting Inpra’s heaven was to see 
the shade of his mother, she having died and left Jambu Dwip. Here he 
weighed her against the Dhurma, or Bali Writ, personified ; and finding 
the scales equipoised, he solaced her with the hopes of happy. transmigra-

He also gave her several Bali formula to peruse ; amongst which were Phra 
Sangha, Phra Wébhini, Thayamok, Po, Kat,hawat,ho, Yd, and Pa. 
Having remained three months in heaven, he returned, by help of a
