On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c18.s2.44

v2.c18.s2.44

Our pilgrim's account of the Buddha's stopping the Licchavis from following him to Kuśinagara agrees to some extent with the story in the "Ta-pan-nie-p'an-ching".¹ Fa-hsien places the river (or as he calls it, deep trench) which the Buddha created, five (in the Korean text ten) yojanas to the west of Vesāli, a much greater distance than the 50 or 60 *li* of our passage. The Nirvāna treatise makes the river to have been produced between Vesāli and the *Kan-t'u* (or *ch'a* or *chih*) village, the Bhaṇḍagāma of the Pali Suttanta.
