大唐西域記 5.31

5.31

鉢邏耶伽國，周五千餘里。國大都城據兩河交，周二十餘里。稼穡滋盛，菓木扶疎。氣序和暢，風俗善順。好學藝，信外道。伽藍兩所，僧徒寡少，並皆習學小乘法教。天祠數百，異道寔多。

This country is about 5000 li in circuit, and the capital, which lies between two branches of the river, is about 20 li round. The grain products are very abundant, and fruit-trees grow in great luxuriance. The climate is warm and agreeable; the people are gentle and compliant in their disposition. They love learning, and are very much given to heresy. There are two sanghārāmas with a few followers, who belong to the Little Vehicle. There are several Deva temples; the number of heretics is very great. To the south-west of the capital, in a Champaka (Chan-po-kia) grove, is a stûpa which was built by Asôka-râja; although the foundations have sunk down, yet the walls are more than 100 feet high. Here it was in old days Tathâgata discomfited the heretics. By the side of it is a stûpa containing hair and nail relics, and also a place where (the past Buddhas) sat and walked.
