c11.61

X. From Rājapura the pilgrim proceeded to the *Cheh-ka* (Ṭakka) country, lying between the Indus and the *Pi-po-she* (Beas). It is said to have possessed numerous *Puṇyaśālas* or free rest-houses, where medicine and food were distributed, and where bodily wants and conveniences were looked after.[⁴] It had two dependencies, *Mou-lo-san-pu* or Multan (?),[⁵] and *Po-fa-to*,[⁶] identified with Parvata (Pavvata). *Cheh-ka* was thus another flourishing kingdom outside the pale of Harṣa's jurisdiction.
