大唐西域記 11.30

11.30

伐臘毘國，周六千餘里。國大都城周三十餘里。土地所產，氣序所宜，風俗人性，同摩臘婆國。居人殷盛，家室富饒，積財百億者乃有百餘室矣。遠方奇貨，多聚其國。伽藍百餘所，僧徒六千餘人，多學小乘正量部法。天祠數百，異道寔多。如來在世，屢遊此國，故無憂王於佛所止，皆樹旌表，建窣堵波。過去三佛坐及經行說法之處，遺迹相間。今王，剎帝利種也，即昔摩臘婆國尸羅阿迭多王之姪，今羯若鞠闍國尸羅阿迭多王之子婿，號杜魯婆跋吒（唐言常叡）。情性躁急，智謀淺近。然而淳信三寶，歲設大會七日，以殊珍上味，供養僧眾。三衣醫藥之價，七寶奇貴之珍，既以總施，倍價酬贖。貴德尚賢，遵道重學，遠方高僧，特加禮敬。去城不遠，有大伽藍，阿折羅阿羅漢之所建立，德慧、堅慧菩薩之所遊止，於中制論，竝盛流布。自此西北行七百餘里，至阿難陀補羅國（西印度境）。

This country is 6000 li or so in circuit, the capital about 30. The character of the soil, the climate, and manners of the people are like those of the kingdom of Malava. The population is very dense; the establishments rich. There are some hundred houses (families) or so, who possess a hundred lakhs. The rare and valuable products of distant regions are here stored in great quantities. There are some hundred sanghdrdmas, with about 6000 priests. Most of them study the Little Vehicle, according to the Sammatiya school. There are several hundred Deva temples with very many sectaries of different sorts.
When Tathagata lived in the world, he often travelled through this country. Hence Asoka-raja raised monuments or built stupas in all those places where Buddha rested. Scattered among these are spots where the three past Buddhas sat down, or walked, or preached the law.
The present king is of the Kshattriya caste, as they all are. He is the nephew of Siladitya-raja of Malava, and son-in-law of the son of Siladitya, the present king of Kanyakubja. His name is Dhruvapata (T'u-lu-h'o-po-tu). He is of a lively and hasty disposition, his wisdom and statecraft are shallow. Quite recently he has attached himself sincerely to faith in the three "precious ones." Yearly he summons a great assembly, and for seven days gives away most valuable gems, exquisite meats, and on the priests he bestows in charity the three garments and medicaments, or their equivalent in value, and precious articles made of rare and costly gems of the seven sorts. Having given these in charity, he redeems them at twice their price. He esteems virtue (or the virtuous) and honours the good; he reverences those who are noted for their wisdom. The great priests who come from distant regions he particularly honours and respects.
Not far from the city is a great sangharama which was built by the Arhat Achara ('O-che-lo); here the Bodhisattvas Gunamati and Sthiramati (Kien-hwui) fixed their residences during their travels and composed treatises which have gained a high renown.
From this going north-west 700 li or so, we come to 'O-nan-to-pu-lo (Anandapura).
