We have thus no satisfactory evidence for the identification of either (1) Śrī-Vijaya with San-fo-tsi, or (2) of San-fo-tsi with Palembang. It is needless to add that the identification of Śrī-Vijaya with Palembang, so far as it is based on these two identifications, cannot be seriously maintained. At the same time it is only fair to add that there is a strong presumption in favour of this identification, as the inscriptions of Śrī-Vijaya have been found in this locality, and one from Palembang itself seems to refer to the foundation of Śrī-Vijaya.¹
