Fah-hien’s visit to the island in A.D. 414, on his way from Ceylon to China by sea, for five months, has further supported the Indian colonization of Java. ‘In this country,’ he says, ‘heretics and Brahmans flourish, but the Law of Buddha is not much known.’³ Commenting on this, Fergusson says, ‘that there were Brahmans in these islands before the advent of the Buddhist emigrants in the seventh century seems more than probable from the traditions about the Brahman Tritresta on Tritāstri collected by Sir S. Raffles and others’⁴; but they seem to belong to a non-building class, as no early remains of Brahmanical buildings are available.
