鄔闍衍那國,周六千餘里。國大都城周三十餘里。土宜風俗,同蘇剌侘國。居人殷盛,家室富饒。伽藍數十所,多以圮壞,存者三五。僧徒三百餘人,大小二乘,兼功習學。天祠數十,異道雜居。王,婆羅門種也,博覽邪書,不信正法。去城不遠有窣堵波,無憂王作地獄之處。從此東北行千餘里,至擲枳陀國(南印度境)。
This country is about 6000 li in circuit; the capital is some 30 li round. The produce and manners of the people are like those of the country of Surashtra. The population is dense and the establishments wealthy. There are several tens of convents, but they are mostly in ruins; some three or five are preserved. There are some 300 priests; they study the doctrines both of the Great and the Little Vehicle. There are several tens of Deva temples, occupied by sectaries of various kinds.
The king belongs to the Brahman caste. He is well versed in heretical books, and believes not in the true law.
Not far from the city is a stūpa; this is the place where Aśoka-rāja made the hell (of punishment).
Going north-east from this 1000 li or so, we come to the kingdom of Chi-ki-to.
