Published in Philippus Baldaeus, Description of East India Coasts of Malabar and Coromandel and Also of the Isle of Ceylon, Amsterdam: Johannes 1672. Philippus came to Ceylon (present Sri Lanka) in 1660 on a missionary trip but the Dutch East India Company refused to grant him permission for proselytizing. He then stayed at Jaffna and studied the Hindu culture and mythology. (Post courtesy- Sandesh Modhe and Murli Khairnar)
