To which they will sometimes add the Title Haumi, which is a name they give to Persons of the greatest Honour; and Dio, that signifies God: saying Irrihaumi, Irridio: Handahaumi, handa Dio.

[Some of their Temples of exquisite Work.] The Pagoda's or Temples of their Gods are so many that I cannot number them.

Many of them are of Rare and Exquisite work, built of Hewn Stone, engraven with Images and Figures; but by whom and when I could not attain to know, the Inhabitants themselves being ignorant therein.

But sure I am they were built by far more Ingenious Artificers, than the Chingulayes that now are on the Land.

For the Portugueze in their Invasions have defaced some of them, which there is none found that hath Skill enough to repair to this day.
[The form of their Temples.] The fashion of these Pagoda's are different; some, to wit those that were anciently built, are of better Workmanship, as was said before; but those lately erected are far Inferior; made only with Clay and Sticks, and no Windows.
