44 NOTES AND QUERIES The respect for the person and teaching of the Lord Bnddlw, Wtts so deep-rooted in those days tha,t no devout Buddhist in Bnnna or 'J'hniland or Laos ever seemed to realise the possibility of the Enlightened One having been born of a race foreign to his own. · Another form of this primitive type of dramatic dt1ncing exists, according to scholars, in the 'l.'hai p11rts of the southern peninsula, more especially Nakon Sri Dharmaraj. This is known as the Nora. The name is that of the heroine, Jl{ anohan'i from the Sucllwma J('itnlca, also of the F'ifty Birth-sto?"ies. The heroine, a beantifnl daughter of the King of the mythical race of K·inncwa :f:ell prey to a hunter's noose. The hunter, a native or northern Pancala, presented his etttch to the heir to the throne of his country. The Prince was charmed by her beauty and wedded her. During his absence on a military expedition, the King, his father, decided to offer up his daughter-in-law for sacrifice in order to atone for a dire illness which had befallen him. 'l'he lady fled to her father's abode on Mount Kailasn,. When the milit11ry expedition came to n,n end, the Peince returned, only to find his wife gone. He became desolate and went in search of her. After a long and arduous journey he found his wife, u,ncl ttll ends happily. It will be seen therefore, that although the name of 0/u'itrL exists in this countt·y, its nature i:-J quite different. It is a form of dramu,tic dancing and its repertoire is altogether different;, It is not known what connection there might have been between our LuJcon Oht'itri and its Indian namesake. It is, tempting to suggeRt that the dances came from south India with the Pallava colonists, but more details will have to be known before any real conclusion mtn be arrivnd at accurately. It may be also noted that besides being 11pplied to the type of a dance, the word Ohatri is also used in 'J'hai to signify tt wan·ior, • .C t TT 7 ' l ':!I !!\ "'
