On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c11.s3.6

v1.c11.s3.6

As to this statement we may observe that the native editor of the Records has referred all these countries from Lampa to Rājapura to "North India". Moreover our pilgrim's remarks at the beginning of *Chuan II* seem to indicate that he regarded all these countries as being included in the great region called India. There, however, he was writing as a foreigner, and here he is writing from the point of view of a Indian. The summary character which he here gives of the inhabitants of these countries is not to be fully accepted, and it does not seem to agree with his own descriptions in the preceding pages.
