大唐西域記 4.55

4.55

毘羅那拏國，周二千餘里。國大都城周十餘里。氣序土宜，同堊醯掣呾邏國。風俗猛暴，人知學藝。崇信外道，少敬佛法。伽藍二所，僧徒三百人，並皆習學大乘法教。天祠五所，異道雜居。

This country is about 2000 li in circuit. The capital town about 10 li. The climate and produce are the same as those of Ahikshetra. The habits of the people are violent and headstrong. They are given to study and the arts. They are chiefly heretics (attached in faith to heresy); there are a few who believe in the law of Buddha. There are two sangharamas with about 300 priests who attach themselves to the study of the Great Vehicle. There are five Deva temples occupied by sectaries of different persuasions.
In the middle of the chief city is an old sangharama, within which is a stupa, which, although in ruins, is still rather more than 100 feet high. It was built by Asoka-raja. Tathagata, when in the world in old days, preached here for seven days on the skandha-dhatu sutra. By the side of it are traces where the four former Buddhas sat and walked in exercise.
Going hence south-east 200 li or so, we come to the country of Kie-pi-tha (Kapitha).
