text: A group of Shans migrated from south China in the year 568 A.D. The Meiteis used to call this group of Tai people Pong. They belonged to the branch of Tai called Mao Shan. 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'.
ref: 1986, Wahengbam Ibohal Singh, The History of Manipur: An Early Period, →OCLC, page 291:
text: Sukapha, a prince of Mungrimungram, the original kingdom of the Tai people, came to Saumar [Assam] in 1229. . . . The Ahom kings ruled for six hundred years.[…]
The origins story was made believable by rendering the Ahom, a group of settlers, a very special place as royal heroes who transformed into community architects and sought and achieved unity among the various groups. Also, by starting the narrative of the community outside Assam, in a mythical land called Mungrimungram (vaguely identified as somewhere in Burma), Borooah created a connection with regions outside of India, and thus shifted the core of Assam’s political identity beyond the reach of Aryan cultures and communities.

text: He started his journey from Mung Mao-Lung to his father’s country Mung-Kha Mung-Ja. His father Chao Chang Nyeu was a Tai hero and his mother was Nang Mong Blok Kham Sen. His paternal grandfather Chao Changbun had been the king of Mungrimungram (of Khunlung line) while his maternal grandfather was Chao Tai Pung.
