¹ The coincidence of the tradition of the Sarvāstivādins that Madhyāntika was the propagator of Buddhism in the north with that of the *Mahāvaṃsa* that Majjhantika was despatched to convert Kasmīra-Gandhāra, and the corroboration of the tradition by the caskets containing the relics with the inscriptions (on the top of the lid) ‘sapurisasa Kasapagotasa savahemavatācariyasa,’ and (inside the lid) ‘sapurisa(sa) Majhimasa’ deserve consideration. See Cunningham, *Bhilsa Topes*, p. 287.
