1848.] through Afghanistan and India. 47 



Satara, a distance of about 400 miles, would have been passed over. 

 Satara may perhaps be the place designed by Hwan Thsang, but with- 

 out a second clue, it is impossible to determine this name with any 

 precision.) 



From Ma-la-pho to the N. W. at 300 li (50 miles) to 



No. 101 — Khi-cha, 3000 li (500 miles) in extent. Without a king, 

 being a dependency of Malwa. (From its vicinity to the capital of 

 Malwa, this place could only have been a very small principality, per- 

 haps Khachrod, 56 miles N. by W. from Dhar.) 



Thence to the N. at 1000 li (167 miles) to 



No. 102— Fa-la-pi, 6000 li (1000 miles) in extent. Here is much 

 merchandize from distant countries. Asoka built Stupas at this place. 

 The king is a Kshatriya of the race of Shi-lo-a-ti-to (or Siladitya) 

 of Malwa. The king of Ko-jo-kiu-chi (Kanyakubja or Kanoj) 

 named Tu-lu-phopa-tho (or Dhruvabhatta) is also of the race of 

 Siladitya. (Jacquet's identification of Fa-la-pi with the celebrated 

 Balabhi, the ancient capital of Gujrat, is undoubtedly correct. Hwan 

 Thsang' s bearing should therefore have been S. W. instead of N. The 

 mention that the king of Kanoj was a Kshatriya is especially valuable 

 for the history of India, for by a reference to No. 62, we find that when 

 Hwan Thsang was at Kanoj the king was a Vaisya. A change of dy- 

 nasty had therefore taken place during the time occupied by Hwan 

 Thsang in travelling leisurely from Kanoj to Balabhi. There can be no 

 mistake about the king's caste ; for the Vaisya Raja was named Kalya- 

 nasphutana, whereas the Kshatriya Raja was called Dhruvabhatta.) 



Thence to the N. W. at 700 li (117 miles) to 



No. 103 — A-nan-tha-pu-lo, Anantapura, Landresse. 2000 li 

 (333 miles) in extent. Without a king, being a dependency of Malwa. 

 (It it impossible to believe that any place to the W. of Balabhi could 

 have belonged to Malwa. The bearing should therefore most probably 

 be either N. or N. E. instead of N. W. This would point to the 

 neighbourhood of Anhalwarapatan and Ahmadnagar. The former place 

 however formed part of the kingdom of Balabhi : but it may have been 

 temporarily annexed to Malwa at the period of Hwan Thsang' s visit.) 



From Fa-la-pi to the W. at 500 li (83 miles) to 



No. 104. — Su-la-tho, Surat, Landresse: 4000 li (667 miles) in 

 extent. The capital rests to the W. on the river Mu-yi. Through
