European travellers called it Satan or Xatan.]
[Footnote 134: The Burmese identify Aparantaka and Yona to which Asoka
also sent missionaries with Upper Burma and the Shan country. But this
seems to be merely a misapplication of Indian names.]

with the Vengi alphabet of the fourth century A.D. _Burma Archaeol.

_Ind. Antiq._ 1893, pp. 327 ff. Though I admit the possibility that
Mahayanism and Tantrism may have flourished in lower Burma, it does
not seem to me that the few Hindu figures reproduced in this article

Nik. 1. 14. 6 (quoted by Forchhammer) describes the merchants of
