The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c29.96

² The only definitely dated political event of Kumāragupta's reign which I can specify is the arrival in China in the year A. D. 428, of an embassy sent by a Rāja named Yue-ai, 'Moon-loved' (? Chandrapriya), who was lord of the Ka-p'i-li country, which may be identified, as proposed by Lieut.-Col. A. Wilson, with the Khasia Hills region to the west of the Kapili river in Assam. If this be correct, Yue-ai is to be interpreted as a phonetic transcript of the common Khasia name U-Ai, to which the Chinese author assigned a meaning in his own language. See Watters, *J. R. A. S.*, 1898, p. 540.
