It is thickly populated, and depends on the country of Cheka (Tse-kia). A great deal of dry-ground rice is here grown. The soil is also fit for beans and wheat. The climate is temperate, the disposition of the people honest and upright. They are naturally quick and hasty; their language is low and common. They are well versed in composition and literature. There are heretics and believers in common. There are some ten sanghârâmas with about 1000 priests ; they study both the Great and Little Vehicle. There are four stûpas built by Aśoka-râja. There are also some twenty Deva temples frequented by sectaries of different sorts. > By the side of the chief town is a great sanghârâma with about 100 priests in it; they study the teaching of the Great Vehicle. It was here that Jinaputra, a master of śâstras, composed the Yôgâchâryabhûmi Śâstrakârikâ ; here also Bhadraruchi and Guṇaprabha, masters of śâstras, embraced the religious life. This great sanghârâma has been destroyed by fire, and is now waste and ruined. > Leaving the Sindh country, and going south-west 1500 or 1600 li, we come to the kingdom of ’O-tin-p’o-chilo (Atyanabakela). > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 11.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11.39) - [Next: 11.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11.41) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.11.17) — Samuel Beal 1884, English ## Linked texts (1) - [大唐大慈恩寺三藏法師傳](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2053.4.31) — 慧立 & 彥悰, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.11.40) · Pramāṇa
