大唐西域記 3.45

3.45

伽藍南十四五里，有小伽藍，中有觀自在菩薩立像。其有斷食誓死為期願見菩薩者，即從像中出妙色身。

Fourteen or fifteen li to the south of the sanghārāma is a little sanghārāma in which is a standing figure of Avalōkitēśvara Bōdhisattva. If any one vows to fast till he dies unless he beholds this Bōdhisattva, immediately from the image it comes forth glorious in appearance. South-east of the little sanghārāma about 30 li or so, we come to a great mountain, where there is an old (ruined) sanghārāma, of which the shape is imposing and the masonry strong. But now it is in ruins; there is only left one angle where there is a small double tower. There are thirty priests or so, who study the Great Vehicle. This is where of old Sanghabhadra, a writer of śāstras, composed the Shun-ching-li-lun (Nyāyānusāra śāstra); on the left and the right of the sanghārāma are stūpas where are enshrined the relics (śarīras) of great Arhats. The wild beasts and mountain apes gather flowers to offer as religious oblations. Throughout the year they continue these offerings without interruption, as if it were a traditional service. Many miraculous circumstances occur in this mountain. Sometimes a stone barrier is split across; sometimes on the mountain-top there remain the traces of a horse; but all things of this sort are only mistaken traces of the Arhats and Śrāmaṇēras, who in troops frequent this spot, and with their fingers trace these figures, as if riding on horses or going to and fro (on foot), and this has led to the difficulty in explaining these marks.
