Bayuia.* In the Bhivana-coga, it is declared, that it flows ‘through: the 
country of Ari-réjya, or kingdom of Ani, where it assumes the name of 
Nabhf, according to the Cshétra-samdsa, and is commonly called the Naf; 
and Teke-naf. This river is called in the Bhiivana-cosa, Héma or golden 
river, probably because it comes from the goldén mountains, st: led Héma, 
Canchwya,'Canaca &c., which signify gold. In general all the ‘rivers of

delineated in former maps. It isnot ‘to be traced, as yet, beyond Ravvex 
or Ramu, thoug}i it may exist still further south. In the first map of the

country, or Ar dcan; ands the author says, that there are in that country, 
five rivers or branches of the Carma, the Ichhamai?, which flows by 
Ramuna or Ramu; the Sane’ hd, the Suntar of the maps: the Srtimaii: the - 
Swarrdchari, called in the spoken dialects, according to our author,

‘parts of the Sunderbunds, was carried away by an alligator, which he mistook for the rotten trunk 
ofa tree. This was written at the end. of his. SURVEY, where he thus left off, in the Surveyor
