Hiuen Tsiang further says, "This king's son, called Vajra, came to the throne in succession, and was possessed of a heart firm in the faith. He again built on the West side of the convent a *saṅghārāma*. After this a king of Central India built to the North of this a great *saṅghārāma*. Moreover, he built round these edifices a high wall with one gate. A long succession of kings continued the work of building, using all the skill of the sculptor, till the whole is truly marvellous to behold."³ So ends the account of Hiuen Tsiang of the actual building of the University.
