大唐西域記 8.26

8.26

山西北三十餘里，山阿有伽藍，負嶺崇基，疎崖峙閣。僧徒五十餘人，並習大乘法教。瞿那末底（唐言德慧）菩薩伏外道之處。

To the north-west of the mountain 30 li or so, on a declivity of the mountain, is a sanghârâma; it is flanked by a high precipice, and the lofty walls and towers stand up in intervals of the rocks. The priests are about fifty in number, who all study the great Vehicle. This is the place where Gunamati (Kiu-na-mo-ti) Bodhisattva overcame the heretic. In the early time there was in this mountain a heretic called Mâdhava (Mo-ta-po), who at first followed the law of the Sânkhya (Seng-kie) system, and practised the acquirement of wisdom. He had studied to the bottom the doctrine of "the extreme void," as found in the orthodox and erroneous (books). His fame was great, and surpassed that of former teachers, and outweighed all then living. The king honoured him exceedingly, and named him "the treasure of the country." The ministers and people regarded him with admiration, and spoke of him as "the teacher of the household." The learned men of the neighbouring countries acknowledged his merits and honoured his virtue, and compared him to the most eminent of his predecessors; a man, verily! highly accomplished. He had as his means of subsistence two towns of the district, and the surrounding houses paid him for the privilege of building (tenant dues?).
