On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c19.58

- **Language:** English

### [v2.c19.58](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.58)

In his translation of this passage Julien instead of "200 \*li\*" has 200 paces, but in all the texts and in the "Fang-chih" the reading is 200 \*li\*. By using the form of expression "south-west angle of the city" the pilgrim may perhaps have meant to indicate that the direction was exactly south-west, and not merely between south and west. It was not from the south-west corner of the city, as Mr. Fergusson seems to have supposed,¹ but from the Cock-Monastery to the south-east of the city that the pilgrim renewed his journey.
