When the processions of images in the fourth month were over, Sang-shao, by himself alone, followed a Tartar who was an earnest follower of the Law, and proceeded towards Kophene. Fa-Hsien and the others went forward to the kingdom of Tsze-hoh, which it took them twenty-five days to reach.
Fâ-hien and the others went forward to the kingdom of Tsze-hoh, which it took them twenty-five days to reach. Its king was a strenuous follower of our Law, and had around him more than a thousand monks, mostly students of the mahâyâna.
The text only says that they set out from Khoten "towards it." Tsze-hoh has not been identified. Beal thinks it was Yarkand, which, however, was north-west from Khoten. As it took Fa-Hsien twenty-five days to reach it, it must have been at least 150 miles from Khoten. Nor has Yu-hwuy been clearly identified. Evidently it was directly south from Tsze-hoh, and among the "Onion" mountains.
