大唐西域記 11.29

11.29

契吒國，周三千餘里。國大都城周二十餘里。人戶殷盛，家室富饒。無大君長，役屬摩臘婆國，風土物產，遂同其俗。伽藍十餘所，僧徒千餘人，大小二乘，兼功習學。天祠數十，外道眾多。從此北行千餘里，至伐臘毘國（即比羅羅國。南印度境）。

This country is 3000 li or so in circuit, the capital about 20 li. The population is dense. The establishments wealthy. There is no king (great ruler) amongst them; the country is an appanage of Malava, and the climate, products of the soil, and manners of the people are very similar in both countries. There are some ten sanghdramas, with about 1000 priests, who study alike the Great and the Little Vehicle. There are also several tens of Deva temples with very many unbelievers (sectaries).
From this going north 1000 li or so, we come to Fa-la-pi (Valabhi).
