On Cīna-Rāja-Vijaya-Gītā’s Spread to India and Other Issues:A Discussion with Prof. Max Deeg

　　ABSTRACT: The communication between India and China is significantly marked by India’s one-way export; there are only a few cases concerning intercultural output the other way round. Prof. Max Deeg in his article entitled “Has Xuanzang Really Been in Mathurā?” points out that the dialogue between Harsa and Xuan Zang “seems to represent a fictional utilization of the Chinese emperor-cult applied by Xuan Zang in the frame work of Indian culture”. The present article argues that it is quite probable that Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue, or Cīna-Rāja-Vijaya-Gītā (秦王破阵乐) was spread to India during the reign of Harsa, and that Xuan Zang’s detailed records about his meeting with Harsa are mainly based on historical facts.
