All the texts and the Fang-chih give the direction of this country from Chih-chi-t'o as north, but the Life makes it north-east, the distance being the same. Cunningham in his usual manner changes north to south, and then finds our pilgrim's Maheśvarapura corresponds to the old town of Mandala, "the original capital of the country on the upper Narbada".¹ This "Śiva's city" is said to have been in "Mid India", but it does not seem to have been known by this name to other authors.
