Referring to the Kala Cakra system of Buddhist Tantra^ 

 Alexander Csoma de Koros, in page 192 of his Tibetan giammai', 

 in 18-345 wi'ote as followii : 



** The Kala Cakra doctrine of Adi Buddha was delivered by 

 <f^akya, in his 80th year, at fridhany a Kanaka (Cuttack in Orisa), 

 called in Tibetan (Dpal-ldan hbras-spuns) the noble city of accumu- 

 lated rice. Upon the request of Candida Bhadra, king of f ambhala, 



who, in his 99th year, visited f akya then, in a miraculous manner 

 upon his return home, compiled in the course of the next year the 



two years aftei^wards he died, 

 tells that after 600 



accordance with what he had heard from Cakya 



Miila Tantra, Cakya fore- 



brated noble one,' will succeed to the throne of pambhala, and that 

 800 years afterwards the M leech a, or Mahamraadan religion, will 

 rise at Makha (Mecca).'' Page 192, Tibetan Grammar by Csoma 

 de Koros. 



^ It may be noted here that in page 74 of Pagsam Jonzan the author 

 states that the lower part of Siti is Lohita, i.e., the j?reat river of Tibet called 

 Tsangpo. Siti is the white river of Higher Asia — the Jaxarteg. The Brahma* 

 patra in upper Assam is the Lohita or the red river- So hecoofuses the Ja»- 

 artes with the Tsangpo of Tibet.
