大唐西域記 11.45

11.45

臂多縶羅國，周三千餘里。國大都城周二十餘里。居人殷盛，無大君長，役屬信度國。土地沙鹵，寒風淒勁。多宿、麥，少花菓。而風俗獷暴。語異中印度。不好藝學，然知淳信。伽藍五十餘所，僧徒三千餘人，並學小乘正量部法。天祠二十餘所，並塗灰外道也。城北十五六里大林中，有窣堵波，高數百尺，無憂王所建也。中有舍利，時放光明。是如來昔作仙人，為國王所害之處。此東不遠有故伽藍，是昔大迦多延那大阿羅漢之所建立。其傍則有過去四佛座及經行遺迹之處，建窣堵波以為旌表。從此東北行三百餘里，至阿軬荼國（西印度境）。

This kingdom is about 3000 li round; the capital is some 20 li in circuit. The population is dense. They have no chief ruler, but they depend on the country of Sin-tu. The soil is salt and sandy; the country is subject to a cold tempestuous wind. A great quantity of beans and wheat is grown. Flowers and fruits are scarce. The manners of the people are fierce and rough. Their language slightly differs from that of Mid-India. They do not love learning, but as far as they know they have a sincere faith. There are some fifty sangharamas with about 3000 priests; they study the Little Vehicle according to the Sammatiya school. There are twenty Deva temples, frequented mostly by the heretics called Pasupatas.
To the north of the city 15 or 16 li, in the middle of a great forest, is a stupa several hundred feet high, built by Asoka-raja. It contains relics which from time to time emit a bright light. It was here that Tathagata, when in old time he was a Rishi, was subjected to the cruelty of the king.
Not far east from this is an old sangharama. This was built by the great Arhat, the great Katyayana. By the side of it are traces where the four Buddhas of the past age sat down and walked for exercise. They have erected a stupa to denote the spot.
Going north-east from this 300 li or so, we come to the country of 'O-fan-ch'a.
