Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: Foreword. Preface. Introduction. xiv. Texts translated: Annotated collection of Kang Tai's Record of Foreign Countries in the Wu Times (Kang Tai Wushi Waiguo Zhuan Jizhu). XV. A collated text of the commentary on the water classic, (Shuijing Zhu Jiao). Bibliography. General index. Chinese index. "This is the second volume of the series Chinese Sources of South Asian History in Translation. Entitled "Chinese Sources on Ancient Indian Geography", it comprises two texts on historical geography. The author has translated and annotated exhaustively the latest collated versions of the texts which will help the students of ancient Indian history and geography in exploring some of the hitherto unexplored domains of ancient India. The first work, Kang Tai's notices on Foreign Countries during the Wu Dynasty (AD 220-280) is a collated text of all available notices that go in the names of Kang Tai and other envoys and travellers whose writings are no more extant but are scattered in other collectanea. Collected over a number of years they give a coherent idea about the all-sea route passing through the Malacca straits touching Ge-Ying and Jia-na-Tiao (Ganadvipa), and reaching the Eastern and Southern India and may be the Asia Minor (Daqin). The second work, The Commentary on the Water Classic (5-6 cent. A.D.) does not only record the geography of Central Asia, but also acquaints us with profuse information on the countries nearby, and India, Afghanistan and other areas outside China. The author shows knowledge of many Indian cities of North, South and Eastern India, and gives the impression that to the Chinese the entire Indian continent constituted one geographical and political concept. Both the works are important additions to the libraries of bibliophiles and will prove to be sine qua non for the Indian orientalists researching for data on our past." (jacket).

An important academic project on Chinese Sources of South Asian History in Translation: Data for Study of India-China Relations Through History has undertaken by the The Asiatic Society, Kolkata, during early 2000. Former Associate Professor of Chinese, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, Professor Haraprasad Ray took this project and he translated and edited nine volumes, of which he himself supervised the publication-work of volumes I to VIII. His main objective was to bring into relief the socio-economic and politico-cultural relations between India and China. He also gave a brief account of the various Chinese dynasties in tabular form in every volume. The previous volumes of this series have received raving praises and are regarded as valuable sources for the scholars. It is expected that this volume, although thin in size, will help the researchers and scholars in the field.

General index. This book reconstructs an interesting chapter in the history of Buddhism in China and how China absorbed and internalised the teachings of Buddha. It forms the third volume of Chinese Sources of South Asian History in Translation subtitled Buddhist Trilogy the work includes three texts not studied thoroughly before in India. Gaoseng Zhuan (c.530 A.D) by Hui Jiao affords us an insight into how the major Buddhist proselytisers from South Asia carried out the Herculean and hazardous task of disseminating their creed in a foreign and unknown land under hostile conditions. By the time we come across Luoyang Qielan Ji (547) by Yang Xuanzhi Buddhism had already become a flourishing creed in China its capital Luoyang being turned into a picturesque city dotted with Buddhist temples of all descriptions scattered all over the city. The author's inclusion of travels of Song Yun and Hui Sheng to Udyana and Gandhara in 518 (map provided) is an important contribution. The last text in the book is the piece on Sakyamuni the Buddha included in Juan 114 of the History of the Wei Dynasty (Weishu) (554) by Wei Shou which provides the only official account of Buddhism ever included in a dynastic history of China. It sums up the growth of Buddhism in China through various stages of ups and downs. Less than a century thereafter came the Tang dynasty rightly called the golden period of our relations which constitutes the fourth volume of this set. By the time a reader finishes reading this tome he will be convinced of the historical process under which Buddhism became a religion and philosophy encompassing all aspects of Chinese life after overcoming all vicissitudes. 304 pp.
