12.7
闊悉多國,覩貨邏國故地也。周減千里。國大都城周十餘里。無大君長,役屬突厥。山多川狹,風而且寒。穀稼豐,花菓盛。人性獷暴,俗無法度。伽藍三所,僧徒尠少。從此西北,踰山越谷,度諸城邑,行三百餘里,至活國。
This also is the old land of the Tu-ho-lo country. It is about 3000 li in circuit; the capital is about 10 li round. It has no chief ruler, but is dependent on the Turks. It is mountainous, with many contracted valleys; hence it is subject to icy-cold winds. It produces much grain, and it abounds with flowers and fruits. The disposition of the men is fierce and violent; they live without laws. There are three sanghārāmas, with very few priests.
Going from this north-west, skirting the mountains and crossing the valleys, and passing by several towns, after about 300 li we come to the country called Hwoh.
