V. *Ta-ch'a-shi-lo* or Takṣaśilā : Cunningham placed the site of the old city at the modern Shah-Dheri, just one mile to the north-east of Kāla-ka-serai.¹ Its ruins cover an extensive area. About its government the pilgrim says: "The chiefs were in a state of open feud, the royal family being extinguished; the country had formerly been subject to Kapiśa but now it was a dependency of Kashmir."²
