No mention is made of the Kdla-Chakra, nor of Adi-Buddha, by ancient 
writers in India, till the 10th century, except in the first volume of the 
rGyut class in the Kah-gyur, where it is evidently an interpolation 
from true historical works of later ages. 
Since the passage above exhibited is an authentic text for the name 
of Adi-Buddha, while it furnishes a general idea of the Kdla-Chakra 
system, I have thought proper to bring it to the notice of the Society, 
and hope it will be of some interest. |

with waiting on the northern bank for two horses and some coolies from 
the Myo Woon of Tsa-gain, detained us till 2 h. 45 m. when we again

site to Ava:) to this place the houses are nearly continuous. At 3h.

other religious edifices. At 4h. pass Magee-tzen, a village nearly the
