故伽藍左右,數百窣堵波。其一大者,無憂王所建也,崇基雖陷,高餘百尺。

By the side of the ashes stûpa is an old sanghârâma, where there are traces of the four former Buddhas, who walked and sat there. On the right hand and left of this convent there are several hundred stûpas, among which is one large one built by Asôka-râja; although it is mostly in ruins, yet its height is still about 100 feet. From this going north-east through a great forest, along a dangerous and difficult road, where wild oxen and herds of elephants and robbers and hunters cause incessant trouble to travellers, after leaving the forest we come to the kingdom of Kiu-shi-na-k'ie-lo (Kusinagara).
