1848*] A few Gleanings in Buddhism. 611 



Fifthly. A canine tooth of the left side, was enshrined at Gand "Tiara 

 wisaye. 



In the Mahawanso of Ceylon this country is thus noticed, " Gand'hara 

 and Kasmira" near the " Naga King."* 



Sixthly. One of the left lower teeth was deposited in a Fane at 

 Nag'hapuri. 



The sixteen measures of hones before described were divided into 

 three sorts, and distributed throughout eight different regions of Jambu 

 Dwip, in the proportions of two measures to each. These were pro- 

 bably the pre-eminently Buddhist countries at the period. In B. C. 

 157, according to the Ceylonese Mahawanso, f there were priests from 

 14 places in India, who attended the building oftheMaha Thupo, 

 namely, Rajagaha, Isipattana, a temple near Bdrdnesi, Jelo Wiharo 

 (near Saivathipura) Mahawanno Wiharo of Wesali. The Ghosita 

 temple of Kosambia, TJjeni temple, Asoko temple of Pupphapura, Kas- 

 mira, Pallawabhago, Allassada, the capital of the Yona country (q. 

 Bactria). The Vttania temple in Winjha, Bodhimando, Wannawaso, 

 and lastly from the Kelaso Wiharo. But are we sure that the whole 

 of these fourteen countries were Buddhized during Gotama's life? — In 

 the list of countries visited by Buddha given by me [T. It. A. S. 1831, 

 Vol. III.] the following, which are here named, do not appear, unless 

 names be confounded. 



Anlakapake, Bamakhamo (or gamo), Wet'hatipake',Weya Ke'pale,Pan- 

 chala [q. Punjab], Kosali, Mithila, Wideha, Indraprestha, Brahman's 

 Town [q. trans-Himalayan], Kiiru Khandahara Wisaye, Naghapuri, 

 Pataliputra. It is true that in the list alluded to Buddha, like Hercules 

 is said to have visited the four quarters of the world. It should seem 

 that Buddha did not visit Kandahar. This if proved might show that 

 Buddhism had not travelled east or S. E. by that route. But we must 

 I fancy deem it as more probable from its distance from Buddha's birth- 

 place, and from having thus so early after his death obtained relics, 

 that it had been essentially a Buddhist country, in the days of Kassa- 

 pho Buddha. Indeed it seems to me that all which we possess regard- 

 ing the Buddhism of India points towards the N. E. from Sakya's 

 birth-place as the quarter whence it emanated.
