K. Mookerji makes the statement that Harṣa “had some touch with Christianity too” (\*Harṣa\*, p. 145, Note 1). The learned Professor, however, has entirely misunderstood the sense. The passage referred to informs us that the same emperor who welcomed the pilgrim Yuan Chwang \*on his return from India\*, laden with Sanskrit manuscripts, “received with equal favour the Syrian Christians, Alopen, and his companions, who had arrived in A. D. 639.” It is thus evident that we have here a distinct reference to the Emperor of China, and not to Harṣa (See also my article in \*J. R. A. S.\*, July, 1928, p. 629). The same misapprehension occurs in \*Ind. Ant.\*, XII, p. 232, Note 19; Max Müller’s \*India, What can it teach us?\* p. 286, Note 4. - [Previous: c13.s2.t2.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c13.s2.t2.25) - [Next: c13.s2.t2.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c13.s2.t2.27) - [Up: c13.s2.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c13.s2.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c13.s2.t2.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c13.s2.t2.26) · Pramāṇa
