For long, I had heard about the Kizil Caves, next to Kucha, on the Northern Silk Route in Western China. Kucha is where Kumarajiva was born to Princess Jiva and the Kashmiri Pandit Kumarayana. He was taken to Kashmir for thirteen years by his mother, where he learnt Sanskrit and studied Buddhist scriptures. On his return, he became the most famous translator of Buddhist scriptures in Kucha. It is said that China attacked and annexed Kucha because of the importance of Kumarajiva.
