The chief town is desert and ruined. There is no record as to its exact limits (area). The ruins of the walls encompassing the royal precincts give a circuit of about 20 li. Though mostly in ruins, still there are a few inhabitants. Cereals grow in great abundance; the climate is soft and agreeable, the manners of the people are honest and pure. They apply themselves to learning, and love religion (merit). There are several hundreds of sanghârâmas, mostly in ruin, with very few religious followers, who study the books of the Sammatiya (Ching-liang-pu) school. There are 100 Deva temples with very many heretics. When Tathagata was in the world, this was the capital of the country governed by Prasenajita-raja (Po-lo-si-na-chi-to-wang). Within the old precincts of the royal city are some ancient foundations; these are the remains of the palace of King Shing-kwan (Prasenajita). From this not far to the east is a ruinous foundation, above which is built a small stûpa; these ruins represent the Great Hall of the Law, which King Prasenajita built for Buddha. By the side of this hall, not far from it, above the ruins a stûpa, is built. This is where stood the vihâra which King Prasenajita built for Prajapati Bhikshuni, the maternal aunt of Buddha. Still east of this is a stūpa to record the site of the house of Sudatta (Shen-shi). > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.5) - [Next: 6.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.7) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.6.1.1) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.6) · Pramāṇa
