大唐西域記 3.54

3.54

曷邏闍補羅國，周四千餘里。國大都城周十餘里。極險固，多山阜，川原隘狹，地利不豐。土宜氣序，同半笯嗟國。風俗猛烈，人性驍勇。國無君長，役屬迦濕彌羅國。伽藍十所，僧徒寡少。天祠一所，外道甚多。自濫波國至於此土，形貌麁弊，情性猥暴，語言庸鄙，禮義輕薄，非印度之正境，乃邊裔之曲俗。

This kingdom is about 4000 li in circuit; the capital town is about 10 li round. It is naturally very strong, with many mountains, hills, and river-courses, which cause the arable land to be contracted. The produce therefore is small. The climate and the fruits of the soil are like those of Pun-nu-tso. The people are quick and hasty; the country has no independent ruler, but is subject to Kasmir. There are ten sangharamas, with a small number of priests. There is one Deva temple with an enormous number of unbelievers.
From the country of Lan-po till this, the men are of a coarse appearance, their disposition fierce and passionate, their language vulgar and uncultivated, with scarce any manners or refinement. They do not properly belong to India, but are frontier people, with barbarous habits.
Going south-east from this, descending the mountains and crossing a river, after 700 li we come to the kingdom of Tsih-kia (Takka).
