On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c26.s2.28

v2.c26.s2.28

The A-ye-mu-k'a country (I, 359) seems to correspond to the Partābgarh and Rāi Barēli Districts in Oudh, or parts of those Districts. The distance of more than 700 *li* from A-ye-mu-k'a to Prayāga (I, 361) is an obvious blunder. Mr. Watters was mistaken, I am convinced, in supposing (I, 360) that Yuan-chwang erroneously applied the name Ganges to some other river. Although errors in the statements of distances undoubtedly exist in the pilgrim's text, as we possess it, the bearings and names are generally correct, and must not be tampered with lightly.
