出高昌故地,自近者始,曰阿耆尼國(舊曰烏耆)。
They slay their herds and offer them in sacrifice to the manes of the dead. When rejoicing, they wear white garments; when in mourning, they clothe themselves in black. Thus we have described briefly points of agreement in the manners and customs of these people. The differences of administration depend on the different countries. With respect to the customs of India, they are contained in the following records. Leaving the old country of Kau-chang, from this neighbourhood there begins what is called the 'O-ki-ni country.
