大唐西域記 2.64

2.64

跋虜沙城東北五十餘里，至崇山。山有青石大自在天婦像，毘摩天女也。聞諸土俗曰：此天像者，自然有也。靈異既多，祈禱亦眾，印度諸國，求福請願，貴賤畢萃，遠近咸會。其有願見天神形者，至誠無貳，絕食七日，或有得見，求願多遂。山下有大自在天祠，塗灰外道式修祠祀。

To the north-east of the city of Po-lu-sha 50 li or so, we come to a high mountain, on which is a figure of the wife of Isvara Deva carved out of green (bluish) stone. This is Bhima Devi. All the people of the better class, and the lower orders too, declare that this figure was self-wrought. It has the reputation of working numerous miracles, and therefore is venerated (worshipped) by all, so that from every part of India men come to pay their vows and seek prosperity thereby. Both poor and rich assemble here from every part, near and distant. Those who wish to see the form of the divine spirit, being filled with faith and free from doubt, after fasting seven days are privileged to behold it, and obtain for the most part their prayers. Below the mountain is the temple of Mahesvara Deva; the heretics who cover themselves with ashes come here to offer sacrifice. Going south-east from the temple of Bhima 150 li, we come to U-to-kia-h'an-ch'a. This town is about 20 li in circuit; on the south it borders on the river Sindh (Sin-to). The inhabitants are rich and prosperous. Here is amassed a supply of valuable merchandise, and mixed goods from all quarters. To the north-west of U-to-kia-han-c'ha 20 li or so we come to the town of P'o-lo-tu-lo. This is the place where the Rishi Panini, who composed the Ching-ming-lun was born.
