The kingdom of Govisana (Central India) is more than two thousand li in circuit, and the capital is fourteen or fifteen li [in circuit]. There are two monasteries, with more than a hundred monks who study the Hīnayāna. There are more than thirty deva temples, where tīrthikas live mingled together. The city is solid, steep, and rugged.
