This country is famous for its grapes. There are some hundred towns which are governed by their own separate rulers. They are independent in all their movements. But though they are so distinctly divided one from the other, they are all called by the general name of Nu-chih-kien. > Going hence about 200 li west, we come to the country of Che-shi (stony country). > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 1.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.39) - [Next: 1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.41) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.1.5) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.40) · Pramāṇa
