Remarks. 
I have reckoned the li as one-fifth of a 
mile, though it is a little more. Champa is 
Bhagalpur. Kajughira, or Kajingara, has 
not been identified. Lassen points out that 
according to the biography, (I. 237, *) it lay 
partly at least, N. of the Ganges, though 
according to both the routes it lay on the 
W. bank. It is perhaps the Kajurahi, or 
Kliarjura-bhaga (Sachau I. 202), of Albi- 
runi, which he puts as 30 fars&kh east 
of Kanauj. Sir A. Cunningham suggests 
Kankjol, but the resemblance is only in 
position. M. Saint Martin suggests the 
Cudjiry or Kajiri in Rennel’s map (No. 15 
of Atlas), near Earukhabad, and opposite 
Gaur. The first part of the word may be 
connected with Ichajur, a date tree. In 
going to Paundra Vardhana, Hiuen Tsiang 
crossed the Ganges from west to east. In 
all probability Mr, Westmacott’s suggestion 
that the place is Pandua, in Maldah, is cor- 
rect. There is a river in this neighbourhood, 
and also according to Rennel, a town, called 
Purnabhaba, which sounds like Paundra 
Vardhana. On his way to Kamrup, Hiuen 
Tsiang crossed a great river. This should 
be the Brahmaputra, but it is ourious that he 
does not name it. The mention of Narayan 
as the ancestor of the royal family, seems 
to indicate that the place visited was Koch 
Bihar and not Assam proper. Samatata 
(level shore) is the Ganges delta. The two 
routes agree as far as Paundra Vardhana. 
The direot distance from Paundra to Ranga- 
mati is about 75 miles. The direction is 
nearly due south, but if, as seems probable, 
Hiuen Tsiang started from the monastery 
of Vachpa (? Vasibha) (I. 180 and III. 75)f 
24 li to the west, then the direction of 
Rangamati would be S. S. E. The delta 
is E. S. E. from Rangamati, and the direct 
distance about 180 miles The direct 
distance from the seaface of the delta to 
Tamluk is about the same. The capital of 
Samatata is not known, but if Sasanka was 
a descendant of Adisur, it might be Dacca 
or Sonargaon. Samatata extended to the 
sea shore, but as it was bounded on N. E. 
by Sylhet (I. 182 and III. 82), it must have 
extended inland as far as Dacca.
