Note 4.—Mangalai, Kûbláï's third son, who governed the provinces of Shen-si
and Sze-ch'wan, with the title of Wang or king (supra ch. ix. note 2), died in 1280, a
circumstance which limits the date of Polo's journey to the west. It seems unlikely
that Marco should have remained ten years ignorant of his death, yet he seems to
speak of him as still governing.
[With reference to the translation of the oldest of the Chinese-Mongol inscriptions
known hitherto (1283) in the name of Ananda, King of Ngan-si, Professor Devéria
(Notes d'Épigraphie Mongolo-Chinoise, p. 9) writes: "In 1264, the Emperor Kûbláï
created in this region [Shen si] the department of Ngan-si chau, occupied by ten hordes
of Si-fan (foreigners from the west). All this country became in 1272, the apanage of
the Imperial Prince Mangala; this prince, third son of Kûbláï, had been invested with
the title of King of Ngan-si, a territory which included King-chao fu (modern
Si-ngan fu). His government extended hence over Ho-si (west of the Yellow River),
the Tu-po (Tibetans), and Sze-ch'wan. The following year (1273) Mangala received
from Kûbláï a second investiture, this of the Kingdom of Tsin, which added to his
domain part of Kan-Suh; he established his royal residence at K'ia-ch'eng (modern
Ku-yuan) in the Liu-p'an shan, while King-chao remained the centre of the command
he exercised over the Mongol garrisons. In 1277 this prince took part in military
operations in the north; he died in 1280 (17th year Che Yuan), leaving his principality
of Ngan-si to his eldest son Ananda, and this of Tsin to his second son Ngan-tan
Bu-hoa. Kûbláï, immediately after the death of his son Mangala, suppressed administra-
tive autonomy in Ngan-si." (Yuan-shi lei pien).—H. C.]

CHAPTER XLII.

Concerning the Province of Cuncun, which is right
wearisome to travel through.

On leaving the Palace of Mangalai, you travel westward
for three days, finding a succession of cities and boroughs
and beautiful plains, inhabited by people who live by
trade and industry, and have great plenty of silk. At
the end of those three days, you reach the great mountains
and valleys which belong to the province of Cuncun.¹
There are towns and villages in the land, and the people
live by tilling the earth, and by hunting in the great
woods; for the region abounds in forests, wherein are
many wild beasts, such as lions, bears, lynxes, bucks and
