To return to the Sunda language we have Bianglala a Rainbow. Lala, C. 604 wa- 

 vering, unsteady, fickle , Abhi-hyang-lala , the most excellent divinity who wavers or 

 is fickle , from the evanescent nature of the rainbow. Abhi-hyang lias liere again been 

 contracted into Biang. Raffles gives Yang-lalah for the Rainbow in Balinese. 



That the Sundaese no longer dream of the real meaning of the word Biang ! which 

 is nevertheless so often in their mouths, is no wonder, seeing that they have been so 

 long converted to Mohammedanism , and all that they almost know of the former wor- 

 ship of their forefathers is comprehended in the words Agama Buda.
