480 Lassen on the History traced [No. 101. 



chachilo, which the Chinese, however, only described by hearsay ; 

 and as Fahian does not mention his having gone there over 

 the Indus from the west, Remusat inferred, that the situation 

 of Tantchachilo must be on the western bank ; but it is in fact 

 the Taxila> {Takshazila of the Indians) between the Indus 

 and Hydaspes, Remusat was therefore under the necessity of 

 displacing all the districts of the western Indian frontier, too far 

 westerly. We may again trace, in the report of Hoeisang, the 

 confusion of Gandhara with Candahar, and the river Southeou, 

 which is but the Indus (with Fahian Sintheou) is removed to 

 Kandahar. I undertake to prove these assertions good in all 

 their details, if their correctness be disputed. 



I shall now state, with regard to every province, the grounds 

 on which its situation is fixed. 



Udjdna, Outchang, as it is called by the Chinese, according to 

 Pracrit form, Ujjand, (garden, park) is bordered by the Indus 

 to the east ;* the name of the capital is Mengholi, (Mangala, the 

 fortunate), and it is probably situated in the valley of the river 

 Souphofasoutou, as they call it, or of the Zubhavastoo, the Sewad, 

 or Suastus. Fahian mentions, however, not by name two other 

 rivers, probably the Penjkora and the Bagur. If Remusat says, 

 the country was bordered by Kandahar in the west,f we observe 

 in the original Kiantolo, (or Gandhara) . This has lead Mr. Ritter 

 to the mistake of looking for Udjuna near Jelalabad, J but it lies 

 to the northward from Gandhara, therefore on the northern side 

 of the Cabul river. § 



We extract the following notices from the copious collection 

 of Chinese narratives published by Remusat. The name is said 

 to have been given to the country by an Indian king of old, 

 who was wont to hunt here ; it was his park. Baber also used 

 often to hunt here. Besides the Buddhists, there also resided 

 here a number of Brahmins, who were much devoted to astro- 

 logical inquiries. 



Buddha is said not to have advanced beyond this. Here 

 we still find Indian letters, and an Indian dialect, but no where
