Which Chinese traveller visited India during Chandragupta II's reign?

Last Updated:

The Chinese Buddhist pilgrim Fa-hien travelled in India approximately between 399 and 414 CE, during the reign of Chandragupta II. Xuanzang visited during Harsha’s reign, Yijing travelled in the seventh century, and Song Yun visited north-western regions in the sixth century. Competitive examinations often produce distractors by shifting a genuine author to the wrong work, assigning a later traveller to an earlier ruler, confusing a royal title with another king, or turning a qualified historical statement into an absolute claim.
