Chama
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
in the mythology of the Burmese, is one of the three classes into which they divide all living things. The Chama are divided into eleven grades, seven happy and four unhappy. In one of the seven happy grades manly lives; in the remaining six, higher beings; the four unhappy are the grades of fallen spirits, who dwell in the dark abysses of the earth.
