Cœdès’ view, however, rests almost solely on the Hikayat Maroṅ Mahawaṅsa, a late work of no authentic character. It is also quite possible that the name of an old site was given to a newly founded city. Cœdès has further relied upon the popular traditions about Leṅkasuka or Langkasuka, noted by Blagden, and referred to hereafter. They may, however, be equally explained by the supposition that an old site of that name originally existed in the Isthmus of Ligor.
