4.25

秣菟羅國，周五千餘里。國大都城周二十餘里，土地膏腴，稼穡是務。菴沒羅菓家植成林，雖同一名，而有兩種：小者生青熟黃，大者始終青色。出細班㲲及黃金。氣序暑熱，風俗善順，好修冥福，崇德尚學。伽藍二十餘所，僧徒二千餘人，大小二乘，兼功習學。天祠五所，異道雜居。

The kingdom of Mo-t'u-lo is about 5000 li in circuit. The capital is 20 li round. The soil is rich and fertile, and fit for producing grain. They give principal care to the cultivation of 'An-mo-lo (trees), in the next. which grow in clusters like forests. These trees, though called by one name, are of two kinds; the small species, the fruit of which, when young, is green, and becomes yellow as it ripens; and the great species, the fruit of which is green throughout its growth. This country produces a fine species of cotton fabric and also yellow gold. The climate is warm to a degree. The manners of the people are soft and complacent. They like to prepare secret stores of religious merit. They esteem virtue and honour learning. There are about twenty sangharamas with 2000 priests or so. They study equally the Great and the Little Vehicles. There are five Deva temples, in which sectaries of all kinds live. There are three stupas built by Asoka-raja. There are very many traces of the four past Buddhas here. There are also stupas to commemorate the remains of the holy followers of Sakya Tathagata, to wit, of Sariputra (She-li-tseu), of Mudgalaputra (Mo-te-kia-lo-tseu), of Purnamaitrayaniputra (Pu-la-na-mei-ta-li-yen-ni-fo-ta-lo), of Upali (Yeu-po-li), of Ananda ('O-nan-to), of Rahula (Lo-hu-lo), of Manjusri (Man-chu-sse-li), and stupas of other Bodhisattvas.
