v6.c41.s16.3
The earliest mention of Champā-deśa is in that passage of the *Rāmāyaṇa* where it is stated that king Sugrīva sent out emissaries in search of Sītā, stolen by Rāvaṇa. The king Asoka’s messengers also may have visited the country of Champa. According to the Arakanese traditions, the first king of Champa was the son of a king of Benares, who settled at Rāmāvatī, the present Rāmbyi or Ramri.² According to another tradition, the first Indian kings of Champa were known as the Kauṇḍinya of the lunar race.
