Notes:
Explanation:
- Fa-Hien who is also known as Faxian was a Chinese Buddhist devotee who was the wanderer who travelled to India during the term of Chandragupta-II.
- It is known that he visited several other Asian countries, not only India, in order to explore Buddhism and Buddhist texts. After completion of his journey, he went back to China on a merchant ship that he boarded from the port of Tamralipti.
- While going back to China, he left a detailed account of the reign of Chandragupta II. Fa-hein doesn’t give a detailed account of the rule of Chandragupta even after spending six years in his empire. This is because he was so much dedicated towards Buddhism, their books and miracles of Lord Buddha that he had no time left for others.
- He had described in detail about Patliputra.
