On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c20.106

v2.c20.106

Here we have an interesting but unsatisfactory account of the great Buddhist establishment at Nālandā, the name of which is not even mentioned in Fa-hsien's narrative. But the establishment was visited by the Sung pilgrim who located it 15 *li* north from the site of Jyotishka’s house which was in Rājagriha. The Life places it above seven yojanas north-east from Mahābodhi, and this is in agreement with I-ching’s account. Cunningham’s identification of Nālandā with the modern village of Baragaon is well known, and it may be correct. The journey from Gayā to Nālandā was probably one of between 50 and 60 miles, and between Rājagriha and Nālandā was a Mango Park with a tank.
