¹ Watters; I, p. 343 ; Beal, I, p. 213. Bāṇa says that horses were recruited “from Vanāyu, Āraṭṭa, Kamboja, Bharadvāja, Sindhu and Persia” (Hc. C. T., p. 50). It is significant that both Bāṇa and Yuan Chwang omit to make any mention of chariots in Harṣa’s army, although the latter authority speaks of the four traditional elements of the army in his general description (Watters, I, p. 171). At one place Bāṇa refers to “troops of camels” also (Hc. C. T., p. 46).
