upon a tract of the uninhabited land which looked inviting, and thence visited Yaśas' encamp-
ment to the south of it. When Yaśas had learned who their chief was, he sent a message to
Kustana : 'Let us here unite and establish ourselves in this district of U-then; and thou shalt
be king and I minister.' 'Then Kustana came with all his followers and met Yaśas in the
country south (of the U-then river) which is called Hang-gu-jo.'
The prince and the minister could not agree about the location of their home, and Location of
a quarrel between their hosts was imminent. But this was averted by the appearance of first
Vaiśravaṇa and Śrīmahādevī, to each of whom a temple was built on that very spot and who colonies.
were henceforth honoured as the chief guardians of the realm. Kustana having been made
king and Yaśas minister, 'the Chinese followers of Prince Kustana were established on the
lower side of the U-then river and in the upper part of Mdo me-skar and Skam-shed. The
Indian followers of the minister Yaśas were established on the upper bank of the river
(shel-tchu gong-ma), and below Rgya and Kong-dzeng. Between the two (? shel-tchu dbus) they
settled, the Indians and Chinese indiscriminately. After that they built a fortress ¹⁵ᵃ.'
In a subsequent passage 234 years are said to have elapsed from Buddha's Nirvāṇa to
the time when Li-yul was founded, Kustana being then aged nineteen ¹⁶. 'Li being a country
half Chinese and half Indian, the dialect of the people (hphral-skad) is neither Indian nor
Chinese (i.e. a mixture of the two). The letters resemble closely those of India (Rgya) ¹⁷.
The habits of the people are very similar to those of China. The religion and the sacred
(clerical) language are very similar to those of India.'
Before we attempt to define what quasi-historical indications, if any, can be gleaned from
this curious medley of legends, it will be well to ascertain whether any of the geographical
points alluded to can be cleared up. I must frankly confess that I am as little able as
Mr. Rockhill to locate Me-skar, To-la, Skam-shed and Kong-dzeng, places the names of which
look queerly discordant from whatever we know of modern or ancient local nomenclature
in the region of Khotan. Possibly if information could be secured as to how these Tibetan
forms may have really sounded at the time when the 'Annals of Li-yul' were compiled, our
task in this respect would become less hopeless. But 'the country south (of the U-then river)
which is called Hang-gu-jo' certainly recalls the name of the present tract of Hanguya, situated
in the extreme east of the oasis and to the north of Sampula (see map) ¹⁸.
The location of Hang-gu-jo 'south of the U-then river' looks puzzling at first, seeing that Identifi-
both the rivers of Khotan, whether the Yurung-kāsh or the Kara-kāsh be meant, follow the cation of
general direction from south to north. But the Yurung-kāsh has certainly a trend towards the Hang-gu-jo.
