Excerpt: Irrawaddy River -The Burmese name of Irrawaddy (transliterated by the current government of Burma as Ayeyarwady) is derived from the ancient name of the river Ravi, Airavati, in the Punjab region, but through its Pali, rather than its Sanskrit form.. Airavati in turn is the name of the elephant mount of Indra, a minor Indian god. Elephants were in Indian mythology often a symbol for water When transliterated literally from Burmese spelling, the modern rivername comes down to Erawati. Due to the spreading of Buddhism in South-East Asia, some names in Burma and to a lesser extent in other South-East Asian countries, are adaptations of Indian place names associated with Buddhism, e.g. Myawaddy (originated from Amaravati), Dvaravati, Ayuthia (originated from Ayoddhya or Ayujjha), Cambodia (originated from Kamboja).

The Irrawaddy gives its name to a dolphin, the Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris), which is found in the upper reaches of the river and known to help fishermen who practi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2173511 ...
