On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c7.s5.24

v1.c7.s5.24

A note to our text tells us that the Chinese name for Mimoho was *Mi* (彌)-kuo, Mi's country, Mi being another scion of the Shao-wu clan. Its foreign name also is given elsewhere as *Mi-mo* (彌末) and it probably was something like Maimak or Memagh. From other sources we learn that the capital, the name of which was *Po-si-tê* (鉢息德), was about two *li* in circuit and was on the west side of the *Na-mi* (那密) River. This country which was formerly a part of the great K'ang kingdom fell into the hands of the West Turks while Yuan-chuang was on his pilgrimage.¹
