On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c12.s5.2

v1.c12.s5.2

Nothing seems to be known of the country and city here described, and the suggestions for identification requiring some tampering with the text are not of much value¹. The restoration of the name as Śatadru has been generally accepted, but the transcription seems to require rather Śatadure, and this is perhaps better than Śatadru which is the name of a river (the Sutlej): the characters, however, may represent Śatadru.
