Note 1 — Chapter XI · TAKSHAŚILÂ. LEGENDS. THE FOUR GREAT TOPES.
James Legge translation
Seven days’ journey from this to the east brought the travellers to the kingdom of Takshaśilâ,1 which means ‘the severed head’ in the language of China. Here, when Buddha was a Bodhisattva, he gave away his head to a man;2 and from this circumstance the kingdom got its name.
