大唐西域記 4.16

4.16

闍爛達邏國，東西千餘里，南北八百餘里。國大都城周十二三里。宜穀稼，多粳稻，林樹扶疎，華菓茂盛。氣序溫暑，風俗剛烈，容貌鄙陋，家室富饒。伽藍五十餘所，僧徒二千餘人，大小二乘，專門習學。天祠三所，外道五百餘人，並塗灰之侶也。此國先王崇敬外道，其後遇羅漢，聞法信悟。故中印度王體其淳信，五印度國三寶之事，一以總監。混彼此，忘愛惡，督察僧徒，妙窮淑慝。故道德著聞者，竭誠敬仰；戒行虧犯者，深加責罰。聖迹之所，並皆旌建，或窣堵波，或僧伽藍，印度境內，無不周遍。

This kingdom is about 1000 li from east to west, and about 800 li from north to south. The capital is 12 or 13 li in circuit. The land is favourable for the cultivation of cereals, and it produces much rice. The forests are thick and umbrageous, fruits and flowers abundant. The climate is warm and moist, the people brave and impetuous, but their appearance is common and rustic. The houses are rich and well supplied. There are fifty convents, or so; about 2000 priests. They have students both of the Great and Little Vehicle. There are three temples of Devas and about 500 heretics, who all belong to the Pâśupatas (cinder-sprinkled).
A former king of this land showed great partiality for the heretics, but afterwards, having met with an Arhat and heard the law, he believed and understood it. Therefore the king of Mid-India, out of regard for his sincere faith, appointed him sole inspector of the affairs of religion (the three gems) throughout the five Indies. Making light of party distinctions (this or that), with no preference or dislike, he examined into the conduct of the priests, and probed their behaviour with wonderful sagacity. The virtuous and the well-reported of, he reverenced and openly rewarded; the disorderly he punished. Whereever there were traces of the holy one (or, ones), he built either stûpas or sanghârâmas, and there was no place within the limits of India he did not visit and inspect.
Going north-east from this, skirting along some high mountain passes and traversing some deep valleys, following a dangerous road, and crossing many ravines, going 700 li or so, we come to the country of K'iu-lu-to (Kulûta).
