The ancient Śyāma-deśa was the north-western one of the six states forming the peninsula east of India and south of China. It then included Burma proper and the northern part of modern Siam³ east of the Salwin, of which Haripuṇya-pura, now Lamphum, on the Me-ping, was probably the capital. It was thus bounded on the west by India and the Indian Ocean, on the north by China, on the east by the Champā-deśa, and on the south by the Kambhoja-deśa, the sea (Śyāma-Sāgara) and the Malaya-deśa.
