The subject of this thin book is to give learned notes on the geography of Gandhara (in the district of modern Peshawar), as described by the Chinese pilgrim Huang Xang (Hiuan Tsiang) over 1200 years ago. There are many illustrations in this book that show sculptures, railings, ground plans, natural features, architectural remains, etc. There is a map of the Gandhara region at the end of this book, which was first published in 1915 A commentary on a chapter of Hiuan Tsang. Translated by H. Hargreaves
