5. Mk acd—ब्राह्मोत्तराः प्रविनजयाः; Vy acde, Bmd, Vmn a, Mk b—ब्रह्मोत्तराः प्रविनजयाः; Vmn b—ब्रह्मोत्तराः प्राविजयाः; Mts abc—सुह्मोत्तराः प्रविनजयाः; c (v.l.)—सह्योत्तराः प्रविनजयाः. The reading सुह्मोत्तर is not supported by Km which reads सुह्म (the ancient name of Rāḍha in South West Bengal) and ब्रह्म or ब्रह्मोत्तर side by side. Brahmottara may be associated with the name of Burma which is derived from the Mrama, one of the three tribes that migrated into Burma and ultimately lent their name as a national designaton to all Burmese. Cf. below, p. 64 note 1. But for a Barmhattar in Sarkar Satgaon, see Jarret, op. cit., p. 141. Śrīvijaya (modern Palembang in Sumatra) was the capital of the Śailendra emperors in the early medieval period.
