On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c23.s22.3

v2.c23.s22.3

The name *Che-mo-t'o-na* given by our pilgrim to the country which lay to the east of the former Tokhara country is evidently a Sanskrit word, and it is possibly a rendering of a native term. The text tells us that the country was the *Nie-mo* (尼末) land. But the correct reading is *Chü* (沮 or 且)-mo which is given in the Life, the T'ang-Shu, and other old treatises. This is said to have been originally the name of the capital of the country.¹
