It borders on the sea. The ground is low and rich; it is regularly cultivated, and produces flowers and fruits in abundance. The temperature is hot. The manners of the people are quick and hasty. The men are hardy and brave. There are both heretics and believers. There are about ten sangharamas, with about 1000 priests. The Deva temples are fifty in number, in which various sectaries dwell mixed together. The coast of this country is formed by (or in) a recess of the sea; the water and the land embracing each other. Wonderful articles of value and gems are collected here in abundance, and therefore the people of the country are in general very rich. > By the side of the city is a stūpa which was built by Asoka-rāja; by the side of it are traces where the four past Buddhas sat and walked. > Going from this north-west 700 li or so, we come to the country Kie-lo-na-su-fa-la-na (Karnasuvarna). > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 10.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.10.14) - [Next: 10.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.10.16) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.10) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.10.7) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.10.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.10.15) · Pramāṇa
