The notion of "the metempsychosis" was just that in which all the ninety-six erroneous systems agreed among themselves and with Buddhism. Adhering to its own phraseology of "the wheel," I would call its doctrine that of "The Transrotation of Births." See Rhys Davids' third Hibbert Lecture. Or, more according to the phonetisation of the text, Vaidurya.
Takshasila, which he visited, was no doubt on the west of the river, and has been incorrectly accepted as the Taxila of Arrian in the Punjab. It should be written Takshasira, of which the Chinese phonetisation will allow; see a note of Beal in his "Buddhist Records of the Western World," i. 138.
"He could see," says Hardy, M. B., p. 232, "all things in 100,000 sakvalas as plainly as a mustard seed held in the hand." Eitel gives the name Utpala with the same Chinese phonetisation as in the text, but not as the name of any bhikshuni. Perhaps we should read here "to see Buddha," and then ascribe the transformation to the nun herself.
