The Buddhist Period, including the Campaigns of Alexander, and the Travels of Hwen-Thsang c6.s3.t33.2 - **Language:** English ### [c6.s3.t33.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c6.s3.t33.2) Travelling eastward, the pilgrim crossed the river Mo-ho, or Mohana Nadi, and entered a large forest, where he saw another stone pillar. Then proceeding to the north-east for 100 \*li\*, or nearly 17 miles, he reached the mountain of Kiu-kiu-cha-po-tho, or \*Kukkuṭapada\*, or "Cock's-foot," which was remarkable for three bold peaks. According to Fa-Hian's account, the Hill of the Cock's-foot was 3 \*li\*, or half a mile, to the south of the holy tree of Bauddha-Gaya. For 3 \*li\* we should no doubt read 3 \*yojanas\*, or 21 miles, which agrees very closely with Hwen Thsang's distance of 17 miles, plus about two miles for the crossings of the two rivers, or altogether 19 miles. - [Previous: c6.s3.t33.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c6.s3.t33.1) - [Next: c6.s3.t33.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c6.s3.t33.3) - [Up: c6.s3.t33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c6.s3.t33) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c6.s3.t33.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.cunningham-1871.c6.s3.t33.2) · Pramāṇa
