Two other buildings might here be mentioned, firstly, the so-called Arakan pagoda, south of Mandalay, which was built by Bodauhpayâ in 1785 to contain the brass statue of Gaudama carried off by him from Arakan. It is really a square temple on the plan of the Ânanda, with four great vestibules projecting on each side, the roof being a seven-storeyed *pyâtthat* in brick.
