Yt. 17; Vend 8, 35 is an interpolation. *' APPENDIX TO CHAPTER XVII 151 It will perhaps be held of some importance to indicate that Buddhism here again affords us a curious parallel:^ It is not contended that the tenets of Buddhism had any connection with the practice but the fact remains that Buddhist works of India testify to the existence of extraordinary conjugal unions such as are not to be met with in Brahmanical or Jain records. And it is a striking fact that while racial bias vitiates m...uch of what the Greek, Byzantine^ and Moslem writers have to say about ancient Persia, no such motive can with justice be alleged against Chinese travellers, many of whom have recorded the practice as obtaining in Central Asia. (For perhaps the latest instance added to our knowledge, see Kentok Hori's Chinese account of Persia in the Sixth Century in Spiegel Memorial Vol- ume, p. 246. ) That Buddhism one time penetrated far into Persia, ^ some of its provinces being divided in worship between Mazda and the Buddha; that colossal images of the Buddha have been discovered at Bamyan ; and that the patra or the begging- bowl of the Enlightened One was adored in Balkh are also facts beside the question.
