Extract

Watters, when discussing various passages in Chinese literature referring to Kapilavastu, the early home of Gautama Buddha, or to other localities with similar names (JRAS. 1898, pp. 539, 540), observed that “for the names Kapila and Kapilavastu the Chinese seem to have obtained from their foreign teachers several explanations more or less exact”.
