2.62
跋虜沙城東北二十餘里,至彈多落迦山。嶺上有窣堵波,無憂王所建,蘇達拏太子於此棲隱。其側不遠有窣堵波,太子於此以男女施婆羅門,婆羅門捶其男女,流血染地,今諸草木猶帶絳色。巖間石室,太子及妃習定之處。谷中林樹垂條若帷,竝是太子昔所遊止。其側不遠有一石廬,即古仙人之所居也。
To the north-east of Po-lu-sha city about 20 li or so we come to Mount Dantalōka. Above a ridge of that mountain is a stūpa built by Aśōka-rājā; it was here the prince Sudana dwelt in solitude. By the side of this place, and close by, is a stupa. It was here the prince gave his son and daughter to the Brahman, who, on his part, beat them till the blood flowed out on the ground. At the present time the shrubs and trees are all of a deep red colour. Between the crags (of the mountain) there is a stone chamber, where the prince and his wife dwelt and practised meditation. In the midst of the valley the trees droop down their branches like curtains. Here it was the prince in old time wandered forth and rested. By the side of this wood, and not far from it, is a rocky cell in which an old Rishi dwelt. Going north-west from the stone cell about 100 li or so, we cross a small hill and come to a large mountain. To the south of the mountain is a sangharama, with a few priests as occupants, who study the Great Vehicle. By the side of it is a stupa built by Asoka-raja. This is the place which in old time was occupied by Ekasringa Rishi. This Rishi being deceived by a pleasure-woman, lost his spiritual faculties. The woman, mounting his shoulders, returned to the city.
