The itinerary deserves the honour of a careful study. Here, however, I shall only occupy myself with the intermediate step between Ujjenī and Vedisā, two perfectly definite localities. The one is still now Ujjain to the north of Indore, lat. 23° 11' 10'' N., and long. 75° 51' 45'' E.; the other is Besnagar very near Bhilsa, lat. 23° 31' 35'' N., and long. 77° 55' 39' E. The *Pārāyaṇa* places the city of Gonaddha between these two points.
