he Buddhist religion_, especially pp. xl to xlvi.] [Footnote 402: In another pronunciation the characters are read San-fo-chai. The meaning appears to be The Three Buddhas.] [Footnote 403: _E.g._ Si-li-ma-ha-la-sha (=Srimaharaja) Si-li-tieh-hwa (perhaps=Srideva).] [Footnote 404: The conquest however was incomplete and about 1400 a Chinese adventurer ruled there some time. The name was changed to Ku-Kang, which is said to be still the Chinese name for Palembang.] [Footnote 405: The Ming annals expressly state that the name was changed to Atjeh about 1600.] [Footnote 406: For the identification of Po-li see Groeneveldt, p. 80, and Hose and McDougall, _Pagan Tribes of Borneo_, chap. II. It might be identified with Bali, but it is doubtful if Hindu civilization had spread to that island or even to east Java in the sixth century.] [Footnote 407: See Hose and McDougall, _l.c._ p. 12.] [Footnote 408: See Kern, "Over de Opschriften uit Koetei" in _Verslagen Meded. Afd. Lett. 2 R. XI. D._ Another inscription apparently written in debased Indian characters but not yet deciphered has been found in Sanggau, south-west Borneo.] [Footnote 409: Groeneveldt, p. 81. The characters may be read Kau-di-nya according to Julien's method. The reference is to Liang annals, book 54.] [Footnote 410: See Pleyte, _Die Buddhalegende in den Sculpturen von Borobudur_. But he points out that the version of the Lalita Vistara followed by the artist is not quite the same as the one that we possess.] [Footnote 411: Amitabha, Amoghasiddhi, Ratnasambhava, Akshobhya, Vairocana, sometimes called Dhyani Buddhas, but it does not seem that this name was in common use in Java or elsewhere. The Kamahayanikan calls them the Five Tathagatas.] [Footnote 412: So in the Kunjarakarna, for which see below. The Kamahayanikan teaches an elaborate system of Buddha emanations but for purposes of worship it is not quite clear which should be adored as the highest.] [Footnote 413: Fergusson, _History of Indian and Eastern Architecture_, ed. 1910, vol. II. p. 439.] [Footnote 414: See _Archaeologisch Onderzoek op Java en Madura_, I. "Tjandi Djago," 1904; II. "Tj. Singasari en Panataran," 1909.] [Footnote 415: See Knebel in _Tijds. voor Indische T., L. en Volkenkunde_, 41, 1909, p. 27.] [Footnote 416: See passages quoted in _Archaeol.
