senting P'i-lo-mo-lo, the capital of K'ü-che-lo (Gūjara), the Gurjara kingdom of Rājputāna; nor did it include Ujjain, N. lat. 23° 11′, E. long. 75° 47′, which was the capital of a separate kingdom (Avanti). Three texts of Hluen Tsang give the name or epithet of the river as *Mo-ha*, = *mahā*, ‘great’; only the D text, which Lévi follows, reads *Mo-hi*, = *Mahi* (Watters). The bearings indicate that the river meant was the Sābarmatī rather than the Mahi. The identification of Ānandapura with Vaṛnagar is fully proved. Ki-t'a or Ki-ch'a is a good phonetic equivalent for Kheṭa (Kheṭaka, Kheda), the modern ‘Kaira’ District, but St. Martin, Julien, and Watters prefer to identify it with Kachchh (Cutch), and I am disposed to agree with them. The identity of Su-la-ch'a or Su-la-tha with Soraṭha or Surāshṭra, Southern Kāṭhiāwār, is established by the mention of the hill Yüh-shan-to, or Yhu-shen-to, = Ujjanta (Ujjayanta, Ujjinta), = Girnār. Dhruvabhaṭa was the son-in-law of Harsha (Śīlāditya), not of his son (Watters, ii, 247). P'i-lo-mo-lo = Bhilmala (Watters, ii, 250). For dates of Hiuen Tsang’s visits to Mo-la-p'o, &c., see ‘Itinerary’ in Watters, ii, 335.
