Ub hosat,ho, in Siamese Chang K héai. The green elephant. One of the 
elephant kings of Hemawa. 
No. 40. 
Chatt hanto. This the Siamese translate by the term Chang-pu-wik, or “the 
white elephant,” the King of Hemawa, who bore on his back Rasa Cuaka, 
or Puria Barommacuak. Hence we have one reason for the divine honours 
which the Siamese, and, according to Lieutenant Mahony, the Singalese, 
pay to the white elephant. But if the Buddhists of Ceylon venerate it 
because, as he affirms, they believe that BuppHa was last incarnated in a 
white elephant, it only shows how ignorant they are of their own faith ; 
and that they have fancied one of the minor states of existence through 
which Bupp Aa is supposed to have passed, to have belonged to him in his 
perfect state. 
No. 41. 
Sakingnakha, or Sakee Nak,ho. This represents the Siamese Chang ding, 
or red elephant of Himala. Mr. H. T. Colebrooke describes the emblem of 
the second Jaina deified saint to be an elephant of a golden colour. 
No. 42. 
Erawanno. The Siamese Chang Erawan. This elephant appertains to 
Inpra, the god of the firmament, or JuPITER TONANS, In an extract from 
a Bali work, named Jntrapati, given to me, he is described as having thirty- 
three heads. In each head are seven tusks; and in each tusk seven ponds 
of water. In every pond are seven lotus plants. Each of these plants has 
seven flowers; every flower seven leaves; and each leaf supports seven 
princesses, each of whom is waited upon by seven slaves. These nymphs 
incessantly surround the throne of Inpra, softly gliding through the dance 
to the melody of the spheres. This is an additional instance of the great 
antiquity of the partiality shewn by various nations for the number seven. 
Erawanno, according to the Bali Milinda, is described as being one hun- 
dred and fifty yojanas high, and his body is proportioned thereto. He 
seems to be the same as the Aravata, or one of the precious things procured 
by the gods, by churning the ocean with the mountain Mandar,
