城西百五十里大河北接山。有寺僧百餘人。從此西南越山行七百餘里至。半笯蹉國(北印度屬罽賓)周二千餘里。寺有五所多山川。東南行四百餘里至遏邏闍補羅國(非正北印度乃荒服國也)周四千餘里。都城周千餘里。寺十所僧甚少。天祠一外道甚多。自濫波達此形體鄙薄。非印度之正境也。從此下山東南行。並是大川達遠無畔。惟以河國而分界部。雖有小山並是孤住。自此以北通連雪山。東達神州涼部以南諸雪山也。案此山亦即贍部之巨鎮地者。於此城東南下平。渡水行七百餘里。至。

North of here connects to the Snow Mountains (Himālaya), reaching east to the Snow Mountains south of the Liang region in the Divine Land (China). According to this, these mountains are indeed the great anchoring territory of Jambudvīpa. Going down onto the plain southeast of this city and crossing waters for more than seven hundred li, one reaches
