釋迦方志 1.28

1.28

烏鎩國。周千餘里都城周十餘里。南臨徙多河信佛法。寺十餘僧減千人習小乘學。城西二百餘里至大山。嶺上有塔。數百年前山崖自崩。中有比丘冥目而坐。形甚偉大鬚髮下垂。覆于肩面。國王以酥油灌之擊揵搥。比丘高視曰。我師迦葉波也。今始乃聞已涅槃耶。又問釋迦佛出世耶。告云已滅度矣。即昇空化火焚身。其土出白瑿青玉等。從國城西度河登葱嶺。東崗八百餘里至福舍。其地在四山之中方百餘頃。無樹木有細草。緣如別說。又西南踰大嶺至。

He also asked, "Has Śākyamuni Buddha appeared in the world?" Upon being told that he had already passed into extinction, he immediately rose into the air, transformed into fire, and incinerated his body. The land produces white amber, blue jade, and the like. Crossing the river from the capital city west and ascending the eastern ridge of the Congling (Pamir) Mountains, traveling for more than eight hundred li, one reaches a hospice. The land is nestled among four mountains, about one hundred qing square, without trees but with fine grass; the details are as explained elsewhere. Again southwest, crossing a great mountain ridge, one reaches:
