The eighth: In the second year of Hongshi of the Later Qin, the śramaṇa Faxian, together with his fellow student Huijing and others, departed from Chang'an, took the Khotan route, and passed through over thirty kingdoms in all. Alone, he reached Siṃhala in the Southern Sea, and then took a ship carrying scriptures and images back, arriving at Mount Lao in Qingzhou to step onto Jin soil. He went to Yang, Jing, and other prefectures to translate scriptures. What he traversed is recorded in a biography.
