The Chinese pilgrim Fa Hsien visited India during the reign of Candragupta II. The Chinese monk has forgotten even to name the ruling emperor though he describes Pāṭaliputra, the Imperial capital, as one of the most flourishing cities. Gaya and the neighbouring district, the Mecca of Buddhism, was covered with jungle.
