He is reputed to have been sent to convert 罽賓 Kashmir, the other, 商那和修 Śānakavāsa, to convert 中國 which is probably Central India, though it is understood as China. Another account makes the latter a disciple of the former. Eitel says that by his magic power he transported a sculptor to the Tuṣita heavens to obtain a correct image of Maitreya.
