The people of this island are small of stature, about three feet high; their bodies are those of men, but they have the beaks of birds; they grow no grain, but live only on cocoa-nuts. Crossing the sea westward from this island several thousands of li, on the eastern cliff of a solitary island is a stone figure of Buddha more than 100 feet high. It is sitting facing the east. In the head-ornament (ushnîsha) is a stone called Yueh-ngai-chu (Chandrakânta). When the moon begins to wane, water immediately runs down from this in a stream along the sides of the mountain, and along the ravines of the precipices. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 11.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11.10) - [Next: 11.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11.12) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.11.1.23) — Samuel Beal 1884, English ## Linked texts (1) - [大唐大慈恩寺三藏法師傳](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2053.4.21) — 慧立 & 彥悰, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11.11) · Pramāṇa
