Assám, a province along the Brahmaputra river.
This word, as explained to me, is derived by the Bráhmans 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 "Áhom," or "Ásom" who conquered this
country. Robinson, Assám, p. 2.
As its ancient name Kamákhya, the lovely, was quoted to me, as usually, by the
Bráhmans of the country; this name, however, is properly referred as an epithet of the goddess
Dúrga to her celebrated temple on the hill close to Gohátti. 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 Assám.
