v2.c23.7

The story of how the god Shuna (or Chuna) went to mount Aruna in Kapis, and on being treated with discourtesy by the god of that mountain, left it for the Shunahila (or Chunaśira) in this country, is told in the first chuan of the Records, and in Ch. IV of the present work. Our pilgrim reports this god as being held in great awe, as having rich offerings presented to him and prayers made to him, not only by the inhabitants of Tsao-Ku-t'a but also by votaries of all classes from other countries.
