**Lampa (Laghman).** In the country of Lampa (Laghman) there were above ten Buddhist monasteries with only a few Brethren, mostly Mahāyānists, the non-Buddhists being very numerous (p. 181). The country is known for at least one distinguished Buddhist scholar, a Brahman, who visited China and translated in A.D. 700 from Sanskrit into Chinese a work of magical invocations (p. 182).
