大唐西域記 3.32

3.32

僧訶補羅國，周三千五六百里，西臨信度河。國大都城周十四五里，依山據嶺，堅峻險固。農務少功，地利多獲。氣序寒，人性猛，俗尚驍勇，又多譎詐。國無君長主位，役屬迦濕彌羅國。

The kingdom of Sang-ho-pu-lo is about 3500 or 3600 li in circuit. On the west it borders on the river Sin-tu. The capital is about 14 or 15 li in circuit; it borders on the mountains. The crags and precipices which surround it cause it to be naturally strong. The ground is not highly cultivated, but the produce is abundant. The climate is cold, the people are fierce and value highly the quality of courage; moreover, they are much given to deceit. The country has no king or rulers, but is in dependence on Kaśmîr. Not far to the south of the capital is a stûpa built by Aśôka-râja. The decorations are much injured : spiritual wonders are continually connected with it. By its side is a sanghārāma, which is deserted and without priests.
