**Parvata.** In the Po-fa-to (Parvata) country to the north-east of Multan (probably the region of Jummoo in Kashmir were "above ten monasteries and 1,000 Brethren, adherents of the two Vehicles". By the side of the capital was a large monastery with above 100 Mahāyānist Brethren where lived the great Buddhist scholars Jinaputra, Bhadraruchi, and Guṇaprabha. The monastery was now in ruins (p. 255). From the *Life* we learn that the pilgrim stayed two years in this place studying with a few learned Brethren he had found there (p. 256).
