Notes

(1) We are now, probably, in 405.

(2) Canouge, the latitude and longitude of which have been given in a previous note. The Sanskrit name means “the city of humpbacked maidens;” with reference to the legend of the hundred daughters of king Brahma-datta, who were made deformed by the curse of the rishi Maha-vriksha, whose overtures they had refused. E. H., p. 51.

(3) Ganga, explained by “Blessed water,” and “Come from heaven to earth.”

(4) This village (the Chinese editions read “forest”) has hardly been clearly identified.
