"South from *Saraswati*, and north from *Drishadwati*, they who dwell in *Kurukshetra* live in paradise.” From these texts it is certain that the holy land of *Kuru-kshetra* must have extended to the *Drishadwati* in the time of Hwen Thsang, and therefore that his limitation of its circuit to 200 *li*, or 20 *kos*, must be erroneous.
