v1.c12.s3.2

The *She-lan-ta-lo* of this passage was long ago restored as Jālandhara, the name of a city and district in the north of the Panjab.¹ But it may be noted that the Life here and the Fang-chih have She-lan-ta-na as if for Jālandhana¹; in another passage the Life has She-lan-ta, and this is the form of the name used by I-ching². In the Sung pilgrim’s itinerary the name is given Tso-lan-t‘o-la (左蘭陀羅) that is, Jālandhana³.
