Extract

This poem embodies two traditions found among the Mon or Talaing people of Burma, (1) that they came from the east coast of India in very early times, and (2) that they consist of three tribes, occupying three several provinces of the Mon country of Burma-Bassein, Pegu, and Martaban.

U. Po Kya in his history of Bassein correctly assigns the Mon Nya to Bassein but goes wrong over the others.
