1.111

霫蔽多伐剌祠城南三十餘里，至阿路猱（奴高反）山，崖嶺峭峻，巖谷杳冥。其峯每歲增高數百尺，與漕矩吒國䅳（士句反，下同）那呬羅山髣髴相望，便即崩墜。聞諸土俗曰：初，䅳那天神自遠而至，欲止此山。山神震怒，搖蕩谿谷。天神曰：「不欲相舍，故此傾動。少垂賓主，當盈財寶。吾今往漕矩吒國䅳那呬羅山，每歲至我受國王、大臣祀獻之時，宜相屬望。」故阿路猱山增高既已，尋即崩墜。

Thirty li or so to the south of the town of Si-po-to-fa-la-sse we come to a mountain called 'O-lu-no (Aruna). The crags and precipices of this mountain are of a vast height, its caverns and valleys are dark and deep. Each year the peak increases in height several hundred feet, until it approaches the height of Mount Tsu-na-hi-lo (Sunagir) in the kingdom of Tsu-ku-cha (Tsaukûta); then when it thus faces it, suddenly it falls down again. I have heard this story in neighbouring countries. When first the heavenly spirit Suna came from far to this mountain desiring to rest, the spirit of the mountain, affrighted, shook the surrounding valleys. The heavenly spirit said, "Because you have no wish to entertain me, therefore this tumult and confusion; if you had but entertained me for a little while, I should have conferred on you great riches and treasure; but now I go to Tsu-ku-cha to the mountain Tsu-na-hi-lo, and I will visit it every year. On these occasions, when the king and his ministers offer me their tribute, then you shall stand face to face with me." Therefore Mount 'O-lu-no having increased to the height (aforesaid), suddenly falls down again at the top. About 200 li to the north-west of the royal city we come to a great snowy mountain, on the summit of which is a lake. Here whoever asks for rain or prays for fine weather, according to his request so he receives.
