Record of Buddhistic Kingdoms

CHAPTER XXII
4/13

83d 19s E.
Davids says (Manual, p.

25), "It was on the banks of the river Rohini, the modern Kohana, about 100 miles north-west of the city of Benares." (2) The father, or supposed father, of Sakyamuni.

He is here called "the king white and pure" ({.} {.} {.}).

A more common appellation is "the king of pure rice" ({.} {.} {.}); but the character {.}, or "rice," must be a mistake for {.}, "Brahman," and the appellation= "Pure Brahman king." (3) The "eldest son," or "prince" was Sakyamuni, and his mother had no other son.

For "his mother," see chap.
