12.17
淫薄健國,覩貨邏國故地也。周千餘里。國大都城周十餘里。山嶺連屬,川田隘狹。土地所產,氣序所宜,人性之差,同鉢鐸創那,但言語少異。王性苛暴,不明善惡。從此東南,踰嶺越谷,峽路危險,行三百餘里,至屈(居勿反)浪拏國。
This country is an old territory of the Tu-ho-lo country. It is about 1000 li or so in circuit. The capital is about 10 li round. There is a connected line of hills and valleys through the country, with narrow strips of arable land. With respect to the produce of the soil, the climate, and the character of the people, these differ little from the kingdom of Po-to-chang-na, only the character of the language differs slightly. The king's nature is violent and impulsive, and he does not know clearly the difference between right and wrong.
Going from this south-east, skirting the mountains and crossing the valleys, traversing thus by narrow and difficult ways a distance of 300 li or so, we arrive at the country of Kiu-lang-na.
