the country of Mathurā (in Central India, anciently called Motouluo), over five thousand li in circumference, with the capital city over twenty li. There are more than twenty monasteries and over two thousand monks, studying both the Great and Lesser Vehicles. There are five deva temples, where tīrthikas live intermingled. The land grows mango fruits; the small ones are green when unripe and yellow when ripe, while the large ones remain green throughout. In the city are three stupas, with very many traces left by the four buddhas, as well as the stupas of Śāriputra, Maudgalyāyana, Pūrṇa Maitrāyaṇīputra, Upāli, Ānanda, Rāhula, Mañjuśrī, and others. In each of the three long months and on the six fast days, the monks and nuns gather: the Abhidharma assembly makes offerings to Śāriputra's stupa; those who practice dhyāna offer to Maudgalyāyana's stupa; those who recite the sūtras offer to Pūrṇa's stupa; the Vinaya assembly offers to Upāli's stupa; the assembly of nuns offers to Ānanda's stupa; those who have not yet received full ordination offer to Rāhula's stupa; and the Mahāyāna assembly offers to the stupas of the various bodhisattvas. Examining these stupas, they do not necessarily contain bodily remains; they merely set up images and present offerings to express the intentions of the mind, just as is clear from the fact that Rāhula and Mañjuśrī have not entered extinction. Six li east of the city is a mountain-cliff monastery, built by the Venerable Upagupta. There is a stupa with the Buddha's finger- and toenails. A stone cliff cave north of the monastery is twenty feet high and thirty feet wide, filled with small four-inch tallies. Whenever Upagupta guided a husband and wife to both realize arhatship, he would deposit one tally; any deviation from this was not recorded in the cave. More than twenty li southeast of the cave, beside a large dry pool, is a stupa where the Buddha once traveled; a monkey offered honey to the Buddha, and the Buddha had it mixed with water to share with the whole assembly. Overjoyed, the monkey fell into a pit and died, immediately being reborn among humans. In the forest north of the pool are the places where the four buddhas walked, with extensive traces remaining. Further northeast for more than five hundred li, one reaches the country of Sthāneśvara (in Central India), over seven thousand li in circumference, with the capital city over twenty li. There are three monasteries and seven hundred monks, all of the Lesser Vehicle. There are over a hundred deva temples and very many tīrthikas. Four li northwest of the city is a stupa more than two hundred feet high containing one sheng of relics, which constantly emits great light. More than a hundred li south of the city, one reaches a Buddhist monastery. Further northeast for more than four hundred li, one reaches
