hepavannana. The latter is a commentary on
the Abhidhammattha-sangaha, but it is not certain if Chapata
composed it or merely translated it from the Sinhalese.]

[Footnote 154: Some authorities speak as if the four disciples of
Chapata had founded four sects, but the reprobate Rahula can hardly
have done this. The above account is taken from the Kalyani
inscription, _Ind. Ant_. 1893, pp. 30, 31. It says very distinctly
"There were in Pugama (Pagan) 4 sects. 1. The successors of the
priests who introduced the religion from Sudhammanagara (_i.e._ the
Mramma Sangha). 2. The disciples of Sivalimahathera. 3. The disciples
of Tamalindamahathera. 4. The disciples of Ananda Mahathera."]

[Footnote 155: Also known by the title of Dhammavitasa. He was active
in 1246.]

[Footnote 156: Found in Zaingganaing, a suburb of Pegu. The text,
translation and notes are contained in various articles by Taw-Sein-Ko
in the _Indian Antiquary_ for 1893-4.]

[Footnote 157: Mahavagga, II. 11, 12, 13.]

[Footnote 158: According to Taw-Sein-Ko (_Ind. Ant._ 1893, p. 11)
"about 105 or 126 feet in perimeter."]

[Footnote 159: No contact with Cambojan religion is implied. The sect
was so called because its chief monastery was near the Camboja market
and this derived its name from the fact that many Cambojan (probably
meaning Shan) prisoners were confined near it.]

[Footnote 160: In favour of it, it may be said that the Dipavamsa
and the earlier traditions on which the Dipavamsa is based are
ancient and impartial witnesses: against it, that Asoka's attention
seems to have been directed westwards, not towards Bengal and Burma,
and that no very early proof of the existence of Buddhism in Burma has
been found.]

[Footnote 161: Apparently about 1525-1530.]

[Footnote 163: _E.g._ Mahavagga, I. 29, 2; IV. 3, 3. Ekamsam
uttarasangam karitva. But both arrangements of drapery are found in
the oldest images of the Buddha and perhaps the Ekamsika fashion is
the commoner. See Grunwedel, _Buddhist Art in India_, 1901, p. 172.
Though these images are considerably later than the Mahavagga and
prove nothing as to the _original_ practice of the Sangha, yet they
show that the Ekamsika fashion prevailed at a relatively early
period. It now prevails in Siam and partly in Ceylon. I-Ching (chap.
XI.) has a discussion on the way robes were worn in India (_c._ 680
A.D.) which is very obscure but seems to say that mo
