Central Asia (3)
Going west 16 yojanas, they reach Xiluo city on the border of Nagarahara; the Buddha's skull is housed in a gold-leaf monastery, guarded by eight families who seal it (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.XIII (법현전 13章))
One yojana north is the capital of Nagarahara: a stupa holds the Buddha's tooth, honored in the same rite as the skull; the Buddha's staff and monastic robe are also kept in a valley (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.XIII (법현전 13章))
Half a yojana south of the capital, in a stone cave remains the image (shadow) of the Buddha: from afar the figure is clear, but up close it blurs (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.XIII (법현전 13章))
South Asia (10)
The king is holding the Pañca-parishad (five-yearly great assembly); ascetics from all directions gather like clouds, and the king gives offerings and alms (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.V (법현전 5章))
The country holds the stone bowl into which the Buddha spat and a stupa enshrining the Buddha's tooth; there are over 1,000 Hinayana monks. It is a country within the Congling where only wheat ripens (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.V (법현전 5章))
Traveling west for a month, they cross the Congling and enter North India, reaching the small kingdom of Tuoli, where there is a wooden Maitreya statue 80 chi tall (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.VI (법현전 6章))
Going southwest for 15 days, along a cliff path (with 700 ladders) and by rope bridges, they cross the Sindhu (Indus) (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.VII (법현전 7章))
After crossing the river they reach the kingdom of Wuzhang (Udyana): 500 monasteries, Hinayana, and a legend of the Buddha's footprint. Daozheng and others go first toward the Buddha-shadow area, and Faxian stays here for the summer retreat (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.VIII (법현전 8章))
After the retreat, going south they reach the kingdom of Suhedo; there is a stupa where the Buddha saved a dove chased by a hawk by giving his own flesh (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.IX (법현전 9章))
Five days east they reach Gandhara (Jiantuowei), ruled by Ashoka's son Fayi (Dharmavivardhana); a stupa stands where the Buddha gave his eyes (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.X (법현전 10章))
Seven days east they reach Takshashila (Zhushashiluo), where the Buddha gave his head; two more days east is the place where he threw his body to a starving tiger (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.XI (법현전 11章))
Four days south of Gandhara they reach Purushapura (Fulousha): a stupa of Kanishka over 400 chi tall and the Buddha's alms bowl; around 700 monks (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.XII (법현전 12章))
Baoyun and Sengjing only make offerings at the bowl and turn back; one companion dies at the Bowl Monastery (named Huijing in the text, Huiying in the chapter title). Faxian alone goes on to the place where the Buddha's skull is kept (Faxian, A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms Legge 1886 ch.XII (법현전 12章))
