大唐西域記 12.18

12.18

屈浪拏國，覩貨邏國故地也。周二千餘里。土地山川，氣序時候，同淫薄健國。俗無法度，人性鄙暴。多不營福，少信佛法。其貌醜弊，多服氈褐。有山巖，中多出金精，琢析其石，然後得之。伽藍既少，僧徒亦寡。其王淳質，敬崇三寶。從此東北，登山入谷，途路艱險，行五百餘里，至達摩悉鐵帝國（亦名鎮偘，又謂護蜜）。

This country is an old territory of Tu-ho-lo; it is about 2000 li round. As regards the character of the soil, the mountains and the valleys, the climate and the seasons, it resembles the kingdom of In-po-kien (Invakan). The customs of the people are without rule, their disposition is rough (common) and violent; the greater portion do not attend to religion; a few believe in the law of Buddha. The appearance of the people is displeasing and ungainly. They wear principally woollen garments. There is a mountain cavern from which much pure gold is procured (dug out). They break the stones and afterwards procure the gold. There are few sanghârâmas, and scarcely any priests. The king is honest and simple-minded. He deeply reverences the three precious objects of worship.
Going north-east from this, after climbing the mountains and penetrating valleys, and going along a precipitous and dangerous road for 500 li or so, we come to the kingdom of Ta-mo-si-tie-ti.
