madrof a kindof Wax, which would turn foft by the Pray^ 
ers and Tears of the Supplicators, and would fink down-' 
ward, by which means the Sakradewendra would look down 
and take notice of the Prayer of the Supplicant and grant 
their requeft. 
This Chair being of fine Gold was deftributed among the 
poor,vv7hich is the caufe wherefore he does not now pepceive

Prayers and Tears which they offer to him. 
He can indeed look far when he turns his Eyes towards 
any place, for his Forehead refembles the Peacocks Tayl, it is 
fo full of Eyes, and fo fometimes it chances that he looks 
down and takes notice of men, but this is but feldom, there- 
fore there is a neceffity for one to pacify thefe wicked Spirits 
which trouble us here on Earth. I could never underftand 
of them how long this Demndra had been a God, or how 
long he would Reign, for none trouble their Heads to regard 
him any more. 
The Budun whereof the Banapots (or their Bibles, if I may 
call them fo) makes great mention,has had the Life of all the 
Species of living Creatures that are in the World, having 
been firft an Infeft, after his Death his Soul was regenerated 
into aMoufe, after that an Ox, then a Monkey, and fo forth, 
then a Man, and ftill by his good Life and Merits was ftill 
born in a better condition until, he is become the fupremc 
of all the Gods. 
Of the Buduns there has been 3, every one of thefe Reigns 
has been counted after this manner, there is a great Hill about 
half a mile of perpendicular height, and about fix miles in 
circumference, from the Hill a certain Bird comes once in a 
thoufand year, and takes one grain to a certain place, and 
continues every thoufand years once, until he has removed 
that Hill to another place.
