On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c11.s2.2

v1.c11.s2.2

The *Pan-nu-ts‘o* of this passage has been identified with the modern Punach, or Punats as the Kashmiris call it according to Cunningham.¹ Instead of 2000 *li* as the circuit of the country given in some texts of the Records the old reading was 1000 *li*, and this agrees with Cunningham’s statement of the size of the district. In some old texts of the Life the name is given as *Pun-nu-nu-tso* (奔奴奴蹉) in which the second *nu* may be due to a copyist’s carelessness, this character being one of the two characters given to indicate the sound of *nu* 奴.
