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. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 2.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.2.64) - [Next: 2.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.2.66) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.2) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.2.21.18) — Samuel Beal 1884, English ## Linked texts (1) - [釋迦方志](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088.1.53) — 道宣, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.2.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.2.65) · Pramāṇa
