The kings of Ujjain and other kingdoms in Central India, which must have been more or less subject to Harsha's control, belonged to the Brahman caste. The Ujjain country supported a dense population, comprising few Buddhists. Most of the monasteries were in ruins, and only three or four, occupied by some three hundred monks, were in use. The early decay of Buddhism in this region, which was sanctified by the traditions of Asoka, and included the magnificent buildings at Sānchī, is a curious fact, at present unexplained.
