History

James Todd[1] writes that the successors of Suryavanshi king Champa, the twenty-seventh, the founder of Champapur in Bihar. In Sir William's, Sahadeva succeeds, and he is followed by Vijaya ; but my authorities state these both to be sons of Champa, and that Vijaya, the younger, was his successor, as the elder, Sahadeva, took to religious austerity. The thirty-third and thirty-sixth, Kesi and Dilipa, are not noticed by Sir William Jones ; but there is a much more important person than either of these omitted, who is a grand link of connexion, and affording a good synchronism of the earliest history. This is Ambarisha, the fortieth, the contemporary of Gadhi, who was the founder of Gadhipura or Kanauj. Nala, Sarura, and Dilipa (Nos. 4i, 45, 54 of my lists) are all omitted by Sir William Jones.

Indian Origin Places in Burma

Dineschandra Sircar[2] writes.... Some important old Indian names found in Burma are Aparanta, Avanti, Varanasi, Champanagara, Dvaravati, Gandhara, Kamboja, Kailasha, Kusumapura, Mithila, Pushkara, Pushkaravati, Rajagriha, etc. and the names Sankashya (Tagaung on the Upper Irawadi), Utkala (from Rangoon to Pegu) and Vaishali (modern Vethali in the Akyub district also fall in the same category.[3] The name of the well-known river Irawadi reminds us of Iravati (modern Ravi River), one of the famous tributaries of the Indus.

चम्पानगर

Champanagara (चम्पानगर) = Champapura (चम्पापुर) = Champa चम्पा (1) (AS, p.322) - चंपापुर (हिंद-चीन): प्राचीन भारतीय उपनिवेश चंपा में वर्तमान अनाम का अधिकांश भाग सम्मिलित था. अनाम (Annam) के उत्तरी जिले 'थान-हो-आ' (Than Hoa), 'नगे आन' (Nghe An) और 'हातिन्ह' (Ha Tinh) केवल इसके बाहर थे. इस प्रकार चंपापुरी का विस्तार 14 डिग्री से 10 डिग्री उत्तरी देशांतर के बीच में था. दूसरी शती ई. में यहां पहली बार भारतीयों ने अपनी औपनिवेशिक बस्ती बनाई थी. यह लोग संभवतः भारत की चंपानगरी के निवासी थे. 15वीं शती तक यहां के निवासी पूर्ण रूप से भारतीय संस्कृति एवं सभ्यता के प्रभाव में थे. इस शती अनामियों ने चंपा को जीतकर वहां अपना राज्य स्थापित कर लिया और भारतीय उपनिवेश की प्राचीन परंपरा को समाप्त कर दिया. चंपा का सर्वप्रथम भारतीय राजा श्रीमान था जिसका चीन के इतिहास में भी उल्लेख मिलता है. चंपापुरी के वर्तमान अवशेषों में यहां के प्राचीन भारतीय धर्म तथा संस्कृति की सुंदर झलक मिलती है.[4]
