In the half fabulous account of Tai-Ahom it is said that two brothers Khunlung (Hkun Long) and Khunlai (Hkun Lai) descended from the heaven in the year 568 A.D. and landed in the land of Mungrimungram (Mong Ri Mong Ram). They established a kingdom there. The name Mungrimungram was derived from their dialect meaning 'country-deserted-country-unhabited'.”

Cochrane asserts that Mong Ri Mong Ram was on the banks of the Mekong.²³ On the basis of these findings, Padmeswar Gogoi asserts that Mon Ri Mong Ram^([sic – meaning Mong Ri Mong Ram]) was undoubtedly a part of the ancient Tai state of Sip Swang Pan Na (Keng Hung), or modern Xihuang Banna.²⁴ If this identification of Mong Ri Mong Ram is accepted, the tradition, which is universally recorded in all Ahom history, links the Ahoms with Yunnan.”
