Buddermokan Said to have been founded 44 I Akyab Akyab Mosque. over a century ago by two mer- chants of Chittagong in memo- ry of one Budder Auliah, whom the Mussulmans regarded as an eminent saint. Colonel Nel- son Davis, Deputy Commis- sioner of Akyab, in 1876, gives the following account in a record preserved in the office of the Commissioner of Ara- kan

“ On the southern side of the island of Akyab, near the eastern shore of the Bay, there is a group of masonry buildings, one of which, in its style of construction, resembles an

Indian mosque ; the other is a cave, constructed of stone on the bare rock which super- structure once served as a her- mit’s cell. The spot where these buildings are situated is called B udderinokan, H udder being the name of as aint of Islam, and mokan^ a place of abode. It is said that 140 years ago or thereabouts two brothers named Manick and Chan, traders from Chittagong, while returning from Cape Negrais in a vessel loaded with turmeric, called ai Akyab for water, and the vessal anchored off the Buddermokan rocks. On the following night, after Ghan and Manick had procured water near these rocks, Manick had a dream that the saint Budder Auliah desired him to construct a cave or a place of abode at the locality near where they procured the water. Manick

. replied that he had no means wherewith he could comply with ihe request. Budder then said that all his (Manick’s) turmeric would turn into gold, and that he should therefore endeavour to erect the building from the proceeds thereof, I When morning came Manick, j ( *7 )

observing that .all the turmeric had been transformed into gold, consulted his brother Chan on the subject of the dream, and they conjointly constructed a cave .and also dug a well at the locality now known as Budder- mokan. “ There are orders in Persian in the Deputy Commissioner’s Court of Akyab, dated 1834 from William Dampier, lOsq., Commissioner of Chittaf^ong, and also from I, Dickenson, Ksq., Commissioner of Arak.an to the effect that one flussain Ally (then the thugyi of Bhudamaw Circle) was to have charge of the Buddermokan in token of his good services rendered to the Ikitish force in 1825, and to enjoy any sums that he might collect on account

! of alms and offerings,

I “ In 1849 Mr. R. C. Raikes, j the offiebting Magistrate at I Akyab, ordered that Hussain j Ally was to have cimrge of the I Buddcrmok.an buildings, and granted permission to one Mah ! Ming Oung, a female fakir to I

erect a building ; accordingly in 1849 the present masonry buildings were constructed by

her ; she also re-dug the tank. “ The expenditure for the whole

I work came to about Rs. 2,000. After Hussain Ally’s death his son Abdoolah had charge, and after the death of the latter, his sister Me Moorazamal, the present wife of Abdool Morein, Pleader, took charge. Abdool Morein is now in charge on behalf of his wife.” 45 Akyab Akyab ... Stone inscription Belongs to the Palace hill of in the compound Myohaung, four centuries old. of the Deputy Commissioner.

! Indian influences were blended j at Prornc. 'I'he Bawbawgyi is a solid, cylindrical brick structure, whose height is about 200 feet. It rests on fine pyramidal terraces, and j

Rach stone is about i • feet high, 4 feet wide, and 6 inches thick, and on it is sculptured the Buddha under the Bo tree, attended by two disciples resting against a sup- port with serrated edges, and having a robe laid on the left shoulder. Though their hands are clasped together, as in prayer, the disciples are not in a kneeling attitude. The position assumed by them is like that of the Brahma in the Nanpaya Temple at Pagan. They sit down on the floor, the outer knee being higher than the inner. In January 1907, in the course of the excavations made by

( the late General de Beyli4, the middle of the right row of stones was discovered to be covered by characters in ^n ancient script, which is probably ancient Pyu, and which may be assigned to the 7th -8th century A.T^.

The building was of wood, covered with stucco on the outside, and its peculiar feature was its being surmounted by five graduated rectangular ter-

I races instead of the customary pytiitJiats. In it was enshrined a huge image of Gautama Bud- dha having dimensions mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures. It was made of the silken clothes of the King covpied with laccjiu r, and its forehead was adorned with a diamond weighing 32 ratteSy which was presented to King Bodawpaya, about a century ago, by Alahii- n.'iwrat.'i, Governor of Arak.an, In the biiilding'W eri; cleposited, in large leak boxes, four sets of the Tripitakny and the monas- lorv was entrusted to the care of the late Pakan Sadaw.

Built by Mindon Min, in 1868, to be used as a refectory when- ever ecclesiasdcal convocations were held in the Thudama Zayat, Some of the carvings are still in a fair slate of prescr vat ion.

This building is situated at the toot uf the Mandalay Hill, Mandalay, and was built by King Mind6n in 1859, at the same time as the Palace. It was used for holding ccclesias- deal convocations and the highest ecclesiastical tribunal. In 1902 the election of the tjuiiiahain or Buddhist Arch- bishop was held near this building.

This building was used as an .'innexe of the Thudama Zayat, and PhH hymns were chanted in it by the monks, who attended an ecclesiastical convocation.

At page 7 of his monograph on the ‘‘ \V(K>d-carving of Burma,” “ .Mr. H. L. Tilly writes : The Salin mona.stcry was built in 1876 A.l)., by the Salin Prin- cess, and the carving with which it is adorned is probably the finest in Burma, and is a good example of work, which has not been contaminated by European influence.

Built in 1859 A.D. by King Min- d6n as an annexe of the Palace. In it was administered the oath of allegiance to all officials of the late regime and the inmates of the Royal Harem. It ( 7 )

Taiktaw Monas- In IQ04 Mr. R, Grant-Brown, tery. I.C.S., who was Superintendent of Gazetteer Revision, noted as follows on this monastery “ The Taiktaw isoneof the finest monasteries in Mandalay, The

carving on it and the Kyanngt

surrounding it is holder and belongs to an earlier, and to my mind, a better style than that of the Golden and Myadaiing

monasteries, I think something should be done to preserve this fine group of buildings. The Central Kyaung was the residence of the 'Tltafhii.il (ibaing and the posts were taken from the Amarapura Palace.” It was built by King Mindon in i8s 9, was used under the Burmese regiint ns the official residence of the Tliatha^ nabai/tg. tts interior is heavily gilt.

The King is kno\in in Burmese history as the** Builder of the Man-aung Yadana Pagoda.” Both its historical and architectural interest lies in its being the shrine built by the last king of the Burmese race, and in its constituting the last link in the long series of religious edifices marking the sites of the capi- tals of Burma.

Its weight is about 90 tons, and it is the second largest bell in the world, being one-third of that at Moscow and fourteen times of that of St. Paul’s. Its supports were destroyed by the earthquake of 1838, and it rested on the ground till 1896, when it was raised, slung on an iron beam, and placed in a suitable shed, under the supervision of the Deputy Commissioner, Saga- ing.

Mcru, the centre of the uni- verse. It is surrounded by seven concentric ranges of mountains, and safeguarded by five kinds of mythical monsters called the Naga, Garuda, Kiimbhandha, Yak- kha, and Gandhabba, to each of which a separate region is assigned. King Hagyidaw, while he was yet a Prince, built this Pagoda in l8i6, in the form of the Sulamani Pagoda resting on Mount Mcru, in order to commemorate the death of his senior wife, the Sinbyumfe Minthatni, who was succeeded by the notorious Nanmadaw Mfe Nil, Yule visited it in ^855, and describes it in the following terms in his“ Mission to Ava ^ (page 17*').

“The basement which formed the bulk nfthe structure consisted of seven concentric circular terraces, each with a parapet of a curious serpentine iorin, 'i'hcse parapets rose one above and within the other, like the walls of Kcbatana as described by Herodotus. The only ascent appeared to be from the east. In the parapet of every terrace were at inter- vals niches looking outwards, in which were figures of nats and warders in white marblCf ol half life size. A great circular wall inclosed the whole at some distance from the base. It was difficult to ascertain the nature of the central structure, so shattered was it by the earthquake. The whole (though round instead of square in plan) had a great general resemblance to the large ancient pyramidal temple in Java called Boro Buddor, as described by Rafles and Crawfurd, but this ( 7 )

Mengoon structure was not, I think, very old, and I doubt if the resemblance was more than accidental.** The building was severely shattered by the earthquake of 1838, and Yule saw it in a ruinous condition. It was, however, restored by King Mind6n near the close of his reign (1874). In 1876, Colonel E. B. Sladen read a paper on it before the Koyal Asiatic Society, which is printed at page 406, Volume IV of the Society's Journal, together with remarks by Colonel Yule and others. Fergusson has also noticed it at page 624 of his History of Indian and Eastern Architec- ture,** and Scott mentions it at page 73 of Part II, Volume I U, of his Upper Burma Gazet- teer.

Pdndawpaya or who reigned from | Bodawpaya, model of the 1781 to 1819 A.l),, spent more Mingun Paya. than twenty years in building the Mingun Pagoda, the largest Buddhist structure in Burma, which was never completed. In spite of the earthquake which shattered it in 1838, its height is still about 165 feet. Its probable dimensions, if completed, could, however, be inferred from the P8nd.'iwpaya, a structure .about 15 feet high, which scr\ ed as the model. An illustration and description of the latter are given at pages j ** I 169 and 170 of Yule’s Mission to Ava.*' j

This building is situated two

miles to the cast ( f Nyaung-u and is a structure of uniqufe arcliitccturc. It contains one inscription, frescoes, and six stone figures representing scenes in l^uddha's life. The first chapter of Dr. Forch- hammeV’s Report on Pagan

^ describes this temple. It .says

' Narapatisithu erected only the upper two storeys in the 12th and Narasihap.^ti the lateral terraces in the 13th centuries, but the lower seems to have existed before Anaw-

rata i ith century). 1 believe the K>aiikku temple to be like the Mahamuni shrine in Arakan, a remnant of North Indian Puddhism, which existed in Burma before the introduction and e^'ldblishment of the Southern Buddhist school from Ceylon and Pegu. 'I'he Kyaukku temple is often mentioned in Pagan history it was the refuge of fugitive priests, kings and nobles long after the conquest of Pagan by the Chinese and Shans. But all mention of it ceases with the death of the renowned Monk Ariyadhamma, who inhabited the cave temple till the year 998 B.E. (1637 A.D.),” The temple is built against the precipitous side of a deep ravine. It was originally dedicated as the residence of the celebrated Pam.sukula Mahathera by King Narapatisithu in 1188 A.D.

These structures are situated about half a mile to the south east of Nyaung-u. They are i subterranean passages, which i were used as residences by I

considered to be the prototype of similar structures in the iVovince {vi(U No. 3). This monument enables us to push back the date of introduction of this type of building into Burma at least two centuries earlier.

Greeted by Pyusawdi, the third King of Pagan, who reigned

from i()S to ;i 243 A.D , on spot where, according to tradition, grew a gigantic Bu or gourd creeper. Its luxuri- ant and persistent growth proved a serious obstacle to the extension of the cultivation of cereals in those flays, and its complete eradication was ascribed to the efforts of Pyusawdi who subsequently became the son-in-law and heir of King 'i'hamftkdayit, the founder of Pagan. 'I'o commemorate the event, the pagoda was built by Pyusawdi. It has been repaired and reno>ated by successive kings. It stands on the rivt^rbank at Pagan, and i^ a conspicuous object and landmark to navi- gators on the Irrawaddy,

Built, in 1170 A.D., by King Narathu, who was also called the “ Kalagyamin,*' or the “ King killed by the Kalas/' While the construction of the pagoda was in progress, the king was assassinated by some Kalas, who were probably natives of Chitta- gong, and it was never completed. Most of the arches and the major portion of the structure are still sound. It is the biggest building of the kind in Burma, and attached to it are two inscriptions dated respectively 1205 and 1253 A.D. ( «« )

The art of glazing earthenware is still extant, but that of glazing stone has been lost. The walls are ornamented with mural writings and frescoes, which have much weathered. There arc four Buddhas facing the cardinal points on the ground floor as well as on the upper storey, which is reached by two staircases. On the latter, the corridor is flanked by two rows of niches enshrining stone sculptures, which are ruder in finish than those in the Ananda. Most of the niches are, however, empty.

i History or Tradition regarding Send the Monument

Built by King Narapatisithu in 1174 A D., and its architectural form is quite unique. It consists of a small square temple with three multiple roofs ornamented with pea- cock-like finials at the corners, and is surmounted by

a sm.nll spiral pngod 1 about 10 feet high. The whole structure rests on a high rectangular plinth, thereby securing it from any risk from hre or flood.

Built V in 849 A.D., by King Pyinbya, and repaired, in 1093 A.D. and 1698 A.D„ by King Alaiingsithu and the Governor of Pagan respec-

tively i is the^ only gate that remains in situ of the twelve gates that once adorned the old city, Pagan. It forms the main gate on the east face of the wall, and is guarded by two male and female* the male figure being placed on the left and the female on

the right as one r nters the city by it. This building, which is a small structure of exquisite proportions, is situated about two mih“s to the south of Pagan, and close to the Manuha Temple. According to tradition, it was used as the palace of the Talaing King Manuha, when he built the temple in 1059 A.D. The Nanpaya contains specimens of fine sculptures on stone. The head of the Brahma is engraved on the pillars, which are adorned I with floral designs. This temple is situated at Myin- pagan, which is about two miles to the south of Pagan. It was built by Manuha, the last of the Talaing Kings, in 1059 A.D. It contains a recumbent image of gigantic proportions representing Buddha in the act of entering Nirvflna, ( ‘9 )
