瞿折羅國,周五千餘里。國大都城號毘羅摩羅,周三十餘里。土宜風俗,同蘇剌侘國。居人殷盛,家產富饒。多事外道,少信佛法。伽藍一所,僧百餘人,習學小乘教說一切有部。天祠數十,異道雜居。王,剎帝利種也,年在弱冠,智勇高遠,深信佛法,高尚異能。從此東南行二千八百餘里,至鄔闍衍那國(南印度境)。
This country is 5000 li or so in circuit, the capital, which is called Pi-lo-mo-lo, is 30 li or so round. The produce of the soil and the manners of the people resemble those of Surashtra. The population is dense; the establishments are rich and well supplied with materials (wealth). They mostly are unbelievers; a few are attached to the law of Buddha. There is one sanghārāma with about a hundred priests; they are attached to the teaching of the Little Vehicle and the school of the Sarvāstivādas. There are several tens of Deva temples, in which sectaries of various denominations dwell. The king is of the Kshattriya caste. He is just twenty years old; he is distinguished for wisdom, and he is courageous. He is a deep believer in the law of Buddha; and highly honours men of distinguished ability.
From this going south-east 2800 li or so, we come to the country of U-she-yen-na (Ujjayanī).
