大唐西域記 7.50

7.50

弗栗恃國，周四千餘里，東西長，南北狹。土地膏腴，花菓茂盛。氣序微寒，人性躁急，多敬外道，少信佛法。伽藍十餘所，僧徒減千人，大小二乘，兼功通學。天祠數十，外道寔眾。國大都城號占戍挐，多已頹毀。故宮城中尚有三千餘家，若村若邑也。

This kingdom is about 4000 li in circuit. From east to west it is broad, and narrow from north to south. The soil is rich and fertile; fruits and flowers are abundant. The climate is rather cold; the men are quick and hasty in disposition. Most of the people are heretics; a few believe in the law of Buddha. There are about ten sanghârâmas; the disciples (priests) are less than 1000. They study assiduously both the Great and Little Vehicles. There are several tens of Deva temples, with a great number of unbelievers. The capital of the country is called Chen-shu-na. It is mostly in ruins. In the old royal precinct (citadel or inner city) there are yet some 3000 houses; it may be called either a village or a town. To the north-east of the great river is a sanghârâma. The priests are few, but they are studious and of a pure and dignified character.
