大唐西域記 4.37

4.37

窣祿勤那國，周六千餘里，東臨殑伽河，北背大山，閻牟那河中境而流。國大都城周二十餘里，東臨閻牟那河，荒蕪雖甚，基趾尚固。土地所產，風氣所宜，同薩他泥濕伐羅國。人性淳質，宗信外道。貴藝學，尚福慧。伽藍五所，僧徒千餘人，多學小乘，少習餘部。商搉微言，清論玄奧，異方俊彥，尋論稽疑。天祠百所，異道甚多。

This country is about 6000 li in circuit. On the eastern side it borders on the Ganges river, on the north it is backed by great mountains. The river Yamuna (Chen-mu-na) flows through its frontiers. The capital is about 20 li in circuit, and is bounded on the east by the river Yamuna. It is deserted, although its foundations are still very strong. As to produce of soil and character of climate, this country resembles the kingdom of Sa-t'a-ni-shi-fa-lo (Sthanesvara). The disposition of the people is sincere and truthful. They honour and have faith in heretical teaching, and they greatly esteem the pursuit of learning, but principally religious wisdom (or, the wisdom that brings happiness). There are five sangharamas with about 1000 priests; the greater number study the Little Vehicle; a few exercise themselves in other (exceptional) schools. They deliberate and discuss in appropriate language (choice words), and their clear discourses embody profound truth. Men of different regions of eminent skill discuss with them to satisfy their doubts. There are a hundred Deva temples with very many sectaries (unbelievers).
