On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c8.s1.22

v1.c8.s1.22

*T'ien-tu*, on the other hand was the name of a place in the Eastern Sea mentioned in the "Shan-hai-ching" along with Chao-hsien or Korea. This place was afterwards identified wrongly with the *T'ien-chu* of writers on India and Buddhism.² But we find mention also of another *T'ien-tu* (written in the same way), a small country to the west of China, which has been supposed by some to be the Shên-tu of Chang Ch'ien.
