¹ "This account of Hiuen Tsang about Ekaśṛiṅga is evidently based on the episode of Rishya Śriṅga in the *Rāmāyaṇa*. According to Kshemendra, the maiden who enticed away Ekaśṛiṅga was a princess of pure morals. The story of Ekaśṛiṅga is constantly referred to in Buddhist books. See Eitels' Handbook, *Catena of Buddhist Scripture*, p. 260, *Romantic Legend*, p. 124; Yule's *Marcopolo*, vol. II, p. 233. *Ind. Ant.* Vol. I, p. 244; Vol. II, pp. 140f."
