6. CONCLUSION.
As the principal result of our examination we get the following itinerary of Fa-hien,:
1. From Yü-t'ien (Khotan) to Tzü-ho (Kök-yar) = 240 km. —25 days —9,6 km. daily
2. » Tzü-ho (Kök-yar) to Ts'ung-ling (Chiragh-saldi-davan)
= 110 km. — 4 » —27,5 » »
farther to Yü-mo (Bazar-dara) = 40 »
3. » Yü-mo (Bazar-dara) to Chieh-ch'a (Gujadbai?)
= 200 » —25 » — 8 » »
4. » Chieh-ch'a (Gujadbai) to T'o-li (Darel) = 300? » —30 » —10 » »
5. » T'o-li (Darel) to Wu-ch'ang (Udyāna) = 150? » —15 » —10 » ».
There are many resemblances between Fa-hien's description of the Onion mountains,
and Hsüan-chuang's description of the Pamirs, the valley of Po-mi-lo.² Fa-hien says: »The
snow rests on them both winter and summer». Hsüan-chuang: »The snow falls both in
summer and spring-time». Fa-hien speaks of »poisonous winds», Hsüan-chuang tells us
that »the winds blow constantly . . . . Night and day the wind rages violently». Fa-hien
has observed the »storms of sand and gravel», Hsüan-chuang finds the soil »covered with
quantities of gravel and sand». Fa-hien states that »the people of the country call the
range (Ts'ung-ling) by the name of the Snow mountains», whereas Hsüan-chuang remarks
the Po-mi-lo (Pamir) »is situated among the snowy mountains». Fa-hien has heard wonderful
stories of »venomous dragons, which, when provoked» do all sorts of harm. Hsüan-chuang
notes that »in the middle of the Pamir valley is a great dragon lake», where dragons and
wild animals hide. Fa-hien takes us »across and through the range of the Onion mountains
(Ts'ung-ling)», and Hsüan-chuang says of the dragon lake: »It is situated in the midst of
the great Ts'ung-ling mountains.»
