The soil is favourable for the growth of cereals, and there are many flowers and kinds of fruit. The climate is soft and mild. The people are sincere and truthful. They very much reverence learning, and are deeply versed in the use of charms and magic. The followers of truth and error are equally divided. The king belongs to the caste of the Sūdras (Shu-t'o-lo). He is not a believer in the law of Buddha, but reverences and worships the spirits of heaven. There are about twenty saṅghārāmas, with 800 priests. They mostly study the Little Vehicle and belong to the school of Sarvāstivādas (Shi-wo-i-tsie-yau). There are some fifty Dēva temples, in which men of different persuasions dwell promiscuously. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 4.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4.40) - [Next: 4.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4.42) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.4.10.1) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4.41) · Pramāṇa
