On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c7.s5.30

v1.c7.s5.30

A note to the text tells us that the Chinese name for this country was *Ts'ao*(曹)-kuo, kingdom of Ts'ao, who was another brother of the Shao-wu family. This information, however, is unsatisfactory as there were at this time in this region four Ts'ao kingdoms, known as East, Middle, West Ts'ao and Ts'ao simply. Of these the first corresponded to the Sutrishan or Ura-Tube district, which, as has been seen, was also called Kaputana. The Ts'ao of the note was apparently understood to include the Middle and West Ts'ao.
