11.36
摩醯濕伐羅補羅國,周三千餘里。國大都城周二十餘里。土宜風俗,同鄔闍衍那國。宗敬外道,不信佛法。天祠數十,多是塗灰之侶。王,婆羅門種也。不甚敬信佛法。從此還至瞿折羅國,復北行荒野險磧,經千九百餘里,渡信度大河,至信度國(西印度境)。
This kingdom is about 3000 li in circuit; the capital city is some 30 li round. The produce of the soil and the manners of the people are like those of the kingdom of Ujjayani. They greatly esteem the heretics and do not reverence the law of Buddha. There are several tens of Deva temples, and the sectaries principally belong to the Pāśupatas. The king is of the Brahman caste; he places but little faith in the doctrine of Buddha.
From this, going in a backward direction to the country of Kiu-che-lo (Gurjjara) and then proceeding northward through wild deserts and dangerous defiles about 1900 li, crossing the great river Sin-tu, we come to the kingdom of Sin-tu (Sindh).
