This word, as explained to me, is derived by the Brahmans as " unrivalled," from the Sanskrit word sama, equivalent to with the privative prefix "a." But according to another explication it comes from the name of a Bérmese dynasty the "Aikona," or "Asona" who conquered this country. Robinson, Assam, p. 2.

As its ancient name Karnak h y a, the lovely, was quoted to me, as usually, by the Brahmans of the country; this name, however, is properly referred as an epithet of the goddess Durga to her celebrated temple on the hill close to Gohatti. Also in Lassen I found, Vol. III., p. 470, that he is not of the opinion that this name has been used as the general geographical name of Assam.
