6.16

Jing and Ji explain alike: According to the common worldly conventions of the Western Regions, only the five Indias are called the central land, and all the rest are borderlands; in terms of the transmission of the Buddha's Dharma, only Central India is called the central land, and the rest are called borderlands. Venerable Jing also says: "Mleccha means 'delighting in defilement and impurity,' such as the Turks (Tujue) and others. Dasyu refers to base and lowly classes, which refers to the various countries east of the Pamir Mountains (Congling)."
