c8.17

Not long after the usurpation of Chandana we hear of the arrival of a Brāhmaṇa from India named Kauṇḍinya. Directed by a supernatural voice to go and rule in Fu-nan, he reached this kingdom through P'an-p'an, a locality in the Malay Peninsula. The people of Fu-nan elected him king, and he introduced Indian laws, manners and customs.
