Bisakha—Oudh was called by this name during the Buddhist period. Visakha was the capital of Fa Hian's Sha-chi or Saketa. Dr. Hoey, however, identifies it with Pasha (Pi-so-kia of Hiuen Tsang) in the district of Gonda in Oudh, near the junction of the Saraju and the Gogra (J.ASB., vol. LXIX, p. 71). It has been identified by Dr. Burgess with Lucknow (Cave Temples of India, p. 41).
