Nothing of great importance is known about Fa-Hsien in addition to what may be gathered from his own record of his travels.

Fa-Hsien and the rest, however, through the liberality of Foo Kung-sun, managed to go straight forward in a south-west direction.

Fa-Hsien and the others went forward to the kingdom of Tsze-hoh, which it took them twenty-five days to reach.

Here Fa-Hsien stayed two years, writing out his Sutras, and drawing pictures of images.

Fa-Hsien had not arrived in time (to see the distinguished Shaman) alive, and only saw his burial.
