王城西南十餘里，有地迦婆縛那伽藍。中有夾紵立佛像，本從屈支國而來至止。昔此國中有臣被譴，寓居屈支，恒禮此像。後蒙還國，傾心遙敬，夜分之後，像忽自至，其人捨宅，建此伽藍。

In the caverns of Mount Goshringa is a great rock-dwelling where there is an Arhat plunged in the ecstasy called "destroying the mind;" he awaits the coming of Maitreya Buddha. During several centuries constant homage has been paid to him. During the last few years the mountain tops have fallen and obstructed the way (to the cavern). The king of the country wished to remove the fallen rocks by means of his soldiers, but they were attacked by swarms of black bees, who poisoned the men, and so to this day the gate of the cavern is blocked up. To the south-west of the chief city about 10 li there is a monastery called Ti-kia-p'o-fo-na (Dirghabhavana?), in which is a standing figure of Buddha of Kiu-chi. Originally this figure came from Kiu-chi (Kuche), and stayed here. In old time there was a minister who was banished from this country to Kiu-chi; whilst there he paid worship only to this image, and afterwards, when he returned to his own country, his mind still was moved with reverence towards it. After midnight the figure suddenly came of itself to the place, on which the man left his home and built this convent.
