[Footnote 139: In the Mahâbhârata and elsewhere the _K_înas are mentioned among the Dasyus or non-Aryan races in the north and in the east of India. King Bhagadatta is said to have had an army of _K_înas and Kirâtas,(B1) and the Pâ_nd_avas are said to reach the town of the King of the Kulindas, after having passed through the countries of _K_înas, Tukhâras, and Daradas. All this is as vague as ethnological indications generally are in the late epic poetry of India. The only possibly real element is that Kirâta and _K_îna soldiers are called kâ_ñk_ana, gold or yellow colored,(B2) and compared to a forest of Kar_n_ikâras, which were trees with yellow flowers.(B3) In Mahâbh. VI. 9, v. 373, vol. ii., p. 344, the _K_înas occur in company with Kambo_g_as and Yavanas, which again conveys nothing definite. B1: Lassen, i. p. 1029; Mahâbh. III. 117, v. 12,350; vol. i. p. 619. B2: Mahâbh. V. 18, v. 584; vol. ii. p. 106. B3: See Vâ_k_aspatya s. v.; Ka_sk_it Kar_n_ikâragaura_h_. Chinese scholars tell us that the name of China is of modern origin, and only dates from the Thsin dynasty or from the famous Emperor Shi hoang-ti, 247 B.C. But the name itself, though in a more restricted sense, occurs in earlier documents, and may, as Lassen thinks,(B4) have become known to the Western neighbors of China. It is certainly strange that the _Sinim_ too, mentioned in Isaiah xlix. 12, have been taken by the old commentators for people of China, visiting Babylon as merchants and travellers.
