On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c26.s2.18

v2.c26.s2.18

The identification of Mo-t‘u-lo with Mathurā appears to be certain, and that of Sa-ta-ni-ssŭ-fa-lo with Sthāneśvara (Sthānvīśvara, Bāṇa) or Thānēsar is equally free from doubt. But the distance and bearing given in the text (Life, p. 78; Records, I, 183) are erroneous. Thānēsar is described as being situated more than 500 *li* to the N. E. of Mathurā, whereas it really lies N. N. W. of that city, at about double the distance stated. A good many errors in figures have crept into certain parts of the MSS. of Yuan-chwang’s travels.
