Notes:
Very likely Mong Tipam, a polity subordinate to the Ahom in modern Assam or Bangladesh. Wichasin (1987; 155) notes Tipam as part of the Ahom realm and records "Chao Tipam" as a title held by the son of the Ahom chaofa. See also Buragohain (1989). For information on further Chinese sources relating to this polity, see Gong Yin (1985; 237-38 and 1992; 657).
