It was Dr. Coedès who first set the ball rolling. In an article, which has now become almost classic, he sought to prove that Śrī-Vijaya is the original form of the name which has been rendered variously as Fo-Che, Che-li-fo-che, Fo-tsi and San-fo-tsi by the Chinese, and Sribuza by the Arabs. As these places could be positively located at Palembang, Śrī-Vijaya also must be identified with that place.²
