The bearing S. W., that is to say, west of south, to the next place, named Po-li-ye-ta-lo, or Pāryātra, now represented by Bairāt in Rājputāna, situated N. N. E. of Jaypur, indicates that the pilgrim visited the eastern part of the Śatadru country, equivalent to the western side of the Ambāla District. The distance between Śatadru and Pāryātra is obviously understated as being ‘over 800 *li*’, and Cunningham’s proposal to read ‘1800’ is reasonable.
