2.44

烏荼國（東印度也）周七千餘里。都城周二十餘里。信佛法寺百餘僧萬餘人並大乘學。天祠五十異道雜居。塔有十餘並佛曾說法處。西南境大山中。大寺石塔多瑞齋日放光。承露盤下覆鉢勢上。以華蓋笴置之便住。如磁石吸針也。自此西北山寺。塔異寺同前。二塔神鬼所造　東境臨大海。折利呾囉城（言發行者）周二十餘里。入海商人止路次。城外五寺臺閣崇高尊儀巧異。南去海中僧伽羅國二萬餘里。靜夜望彼佛牙精舍。數百尺表上鉢曇摩羅伽寶（寶大如升即琥珀也）珠光挺照懸燭此城。又西南大林千二百餘里。至。

The kingdom of Uḍra (Eastern India) is over 7,000 li in circuit. The capital is over 20 li in circuit. They believe in the Buddha's Dharma, with over a hundred monasteries and over 10,000 monks, all studying the Mahāyāna. There are fifty deva temples where tīrthikas dwell mixed together. There are over ten stupas, all places where the Buddha once preached the Dharma. In a great mountain on the southwest border, there is a great monastery and a stone stupa, full of auspicious portents, which radiates light on fast days. Beneath the dew-receiving basin, above the profile of the overturned bowl, if one places the shaft of a parasol it stays upright, as a lodestone attracts a needle. Going northwest from here to a mountain monastery, the stupa is unusual, while the monastery is like the former one; the two stupas were built by spirits. The eastern border overlooks the great sea, where the city of Caritra (meaning 'Departure') is over 20 li in circuit; it is a way station for merchants who put to sea. Outside the city are five monasteries with lofty terraces and pavilions, and the sacred images are artful and extraordinary. Over 20,000 li to the south in the sea is the kingdom of Siṃhala. On quiet nights, looking toward the Tooth Relic Vihāra there, the padmarāga gem (the jewel is as large as a sheng, that is, amber) atop a pillar several hundred feet high shines brilliantly, illuminating this city from afar. Going over 1,200 li southwest through a great forest, one reaches [the following kingdom].
