Thaton Kingdom : ウィキペディア英語版 | Thaton Kingdom
The Thaton Kingdom or Thuwunnabumi ((ビルマ語:သထုံခေတ်) (:θətʰòʊɴ kʰɪʔ) or (:θṵwəna̰ bʊ̀mḭ)) was a Mon kingdom, believed to have existed in Lower Burma from at least the 4th century BC to the middle of the 11th century AD. One of many Mon kingdoms that existed in modern-day Lower Burma and Thailand, the kingdom was essentially a city-state centered on the city of Thaton. It traded directly with South India and Sri Lanka, and became a primary center of Theravada Buddhism in South-East Asia. Thaton, like other Mon kingdoms, faced the gradual encroachment of the Khmer Empire. But it was the Pagan Kingdom from the north that conquered the fabled kingdom in 1057. ==Name of the kingdom== Mon tradition maintains that the kingdom was called Suvannabhumi ((ビルマ語:သုဝဏ္ဏဘူမိ)), a name also claimed by Lower Thailand, and that it was founded during the time of the Buddha in the 6th century BCE. Thaton is the Burmese name of Sadhuim in Mon, which in turn is from Sudhammapura in Pali, after Sudharma, the moot hall of the gods.〔Shorto, p. 590〕
