2.46

羯𩜁伽國（南印度）周五千餘里。都城周二十餘里。少信佛法。寺十餘僧徒五百餘人。大乘上座部。天祠百餘異道甚多。城南育王塔高百餘尺。四佛坐處。境北乘大山嶺上塔高百餘尺。劫初人壽無量時。獨覺入滅處。國中深林數百里出香象。隣國所重。昔五通仙巖栖人觸通退。便以惡呪殺此國人。今猶少也。又此西北山林中。行一千八百餘里。至。

The kingdom of Kaliṅga (Southern India) is over 5,000 li in circuit. The capital is over 20 li in circuit. They have little faith in the Buddha's Dharma. There are over ten monasteries with over five hundred monks, belonging to the Mahāyāna Sthaviranikāya. There are over a hundred deva temples and very many tīrthikas. South of the city is an Aśoka stupa over a hundred feet high, where the four buddhas sat. On a high ridge of a great mountain on the northern border is a stupa over a hundred feet high, the place where a pratyekabuddha entered nirvāṇa at the beginning of the kalpa when human life was immeasurable. In the deep forests of the country, stretching for several hundred li, fragrant elephants are produced, which are prized by neighbouring countries. Formerly, ṛṣis of five superknowledges dwelt on the cliffs; because people disturbed them, their superknowledges declined, whereupon they killed the people of this country with evil curses, and even now the population is small. Going over 1,800 li northwest through mountain forests, one reaches [the following kingdom].
