when young disputed with the Cakya tribe. Near that stupa is the 
‘ Elephant-pit,’ beside which are images of king Siddhartha, Yagodhara, 
and prince Rahula, as described in the register. And lately the 
traveller Lalagi has visited them, and seen feasts held there by the 
people every eight days. 
“Not far from the city, towards the south is a great temple with a 
stone image of the Yaksa, ‘Increase’!, in a standing posture, this was 
visited by some Acaryas. 
“One morning’s walk to the south of that place is a well which is 
now called ‘ Bhagavan-suvadi,’ in which it is said whoever batlhes is 
freed from disease. 
“ Half a day’s journey to the south of that place are the shrines of 
the previous Buddhas Konakamana and Krakucchanda where they 
were born, as described by Than-zin (Hien Tsiang). 
“Again” from the above-mentioned Bhagavan-suvadi, haif a day’s 
journey to the north-east is the ‘ Lambuna’ forest, not far from which is 
the ‘ Acvo-tha’ tree which was held by the right hand of the Guide’s 
mother when he was born. 
“North-east of that place is a farm called ‘Sahapara’ by the 
Nepalese, beyond which a little farther is a small country, thought to 
be ‘ Kaputa.’ ” 
“From that place, north-east is a thick-forest called ‘ Jahri-ban,’ 
beyond which after a httle more than one day’s march is Camalla- 
desh ’ or ‘ Baliya-dé¢’” or ‘the powerful country.’ In the north-west 
of this country is the river ‘ Jahrena’ on the bank of which is the Sal 
forest under the shade of one of the trees of which the Guide died, in a 
lying posture with his head directed towards the north, as described by 
Than-zin (Hinen Tsiang). 
“Not far east of this is the relic of the Guide which the Indians 
call ‘ Krayata.’ Here is an extensive tract of ground of a yellewish- 
earth where the faithful ones sometimes find pieces of relics about the 
size of a small grain as described by the Indians. 
“To the north of Kapila and ‘ The Intestine ’* country and near 
Népal is the city of ‘Mu-kham-bu-ra’ where there is a fortress called 
‘Mukhyi-drava,’ from which, I am told by Lakshinara Singh, (the 
countries of ) Kapila and Magadha may be seen. . 
“Further east is the country of ‘ Bhidhiya’ (=Bettiah), where in 
the city of ‘ Janakapuri’ isa bow and arrow of king Rama. To the 
east of the palace of the king of this country, after about three days 
journey, we came to a road which leads to Népal or ‘ Nam-khu.’
