11 



years the plan was accomplished, and by this means, the child Thos- 

 ihoo-na-ga, who had become a noble, was brought to Ba-dza-gyo and 

 eventually became king. 



King Thoo4hoo~na-ga lived in We-tha-lL After a reign of eighteen 

 years, he died in the year of religion 90. 



He was succeeded by his son Ka4a4hau-~ka. In his reign in the 

 year of religion 100, the second great Council was held in We-tha-li 

 under Shen-ya-tha-tay with seven hundred Eahandas. He died in the 

 year of religion 118, On his death his son Bad-da-the-na, with nine 

 younger brothers, reigned for twenty-two years. In the year 140, the 

 ]ast of these ten brothers named Pin-za-ma-ka, was king. He was 

 killed by one Kho-mhoo-nan-da who became king with the name of 

 Oog-ga-the-na. His history was as follows : — On the border of the 

 country of We-tha-li, there lived a robber chief, who at the head of a 

 large band plundered the country. Once, in plundering a party of 

 merchants, a porter belonging to them joined the robbers. He in time 

 became the captain of the band and was called Kho-thoo-nan-da. 

 Gradually he acquired power, and at length usurped the throne, putting 

 to death the king Pin-za-ma-Jca. 



Oog-ga-the-na did not live long. His eight younger brothers suc-

 dered by Dza-neJc-ha the Brahman, and prince Tsan-da-got-ta of the 

 Mau-re-ya line was placed on the throne. He was king of all Dzam- 

 Au-dee-pa. 



The history of Mau-re-ya is thus : In the time of the Phra, some of 

 the Tha-kee princes went and built a city in the Himalaya forests. It 

 was called Mau-re-ya from peacocks being numerous there, or from 

 the city being in the shape of a peacock's neck. Dza-nelc-ha, the 

 Brahman, was an inhabitant of the country of Teh-ha-tho. His father 

 died early and he was brought up under the care of his mother. He 

 when young was noted for his learning and accomplishments. It was 

 predicted that he would become a king, but at the request of his 

 mother, he broke his canine teeth and vowed never to become a king. 

 He came to the country of Pa-ti-M-poot, in the reign of Da-na-nan-da. 

 He became acquainted with the king's son, Pap-pa-ta, and persuaded 

 him to leave the city and live in the forest. He endeavoured to find 

 a person to substitute for prince Pap-pa-ta as successor to the throne 

 and he found Tmn-da*gol-ta. His history is thus related. Once the
