c10.80

The booty taken by the Chinese from time to time after the sack of Champā throws interesting light on the wealth and social condition of the country. In 446 A.D. they took 100,000 pounds of pure gold. In 605 A.D. they took the golden tablets of eighteen kings, 1350 Buddhist manuscripts and also some musicians. This shows that music was also cultivated in Champā.
