**Lankala (Mekran).** In the country called Lankala (probably the eastern part of Mekran) which was subject to Persia "there were above 100 monasteries and more than 6,000 Brethren of both Vehicles". This place was on the way to the "West-Woman-Country", probably the same as the Strīrājya in the north-west division of the *Bṛihat Saṁhitā* (p. 257).
