उत्तर
Hiuen-Tsang’s Memoir: Hiuen Tsang is an important source on Harsha era. He visited India in the 7th Century in India for about 15 years (630 to 645 A.D.). His memoirs Siyuki (Memoirs of the countries of the west) present a trustworthy account of political, social and religious conditions of Harsha’s times. Hiuen-Tsang visited the Chalukya ruler Pulakesin’s kingdom also. Hiuen-Tsang’s account reveals that Pataliputra and Vaishali were in a state of decline, whereas Prayag and Kanauj had become important centers of attention. The Chinese pilgrim takes notice of an unfortunate lot of the so-called untouchables and scavengers, etc.
