On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c26.s2.27

v2.c26.s2.27

Mr. Watters (I, 354), like Cunningham, has been misled by the apparent similarity of the names A-yü-t'ê and Ayōdhya. Detailed examination of the question would require many pages, and I can only note that in my opinion the A-yü-t'ê country should be sought in the Fatehpur District. Aphui, 29 miles S. E. of Fatehpur may be taken as the approximate site of the capital (See Führer, Monumental Antiquities of N. W. P. and Oudh, p. 157). Aphui was one of the stages on the old road from Kanauj to Prayāga (Allāhābād), along which the pilgrim was travelling.
