Hwuy-king, Hwuy-tah, and Tâo-ching went on ahead towards the place of Buddha's shadow in the country of Nâgara; but Fâ-hien and the others remained in Woo-chang, and kept the summer retreat. That over, they descended south, and arrived in the country of Soo-ho-to. All bhikshus call themselves Sramans. ~Soo-ho-to Legends of Buddha~ In that country also Buddhism is flourishing.
