3.24

崑崙山者。則閻浮利地之中心也。山皆寶石。周匝有五百窟。窟皆黃金。常五百羅漢居之。阿耨大泉周圍山外。山內平地河處其中。河岸有四金獸頭。口流出水。各繞一匝還其四方投入四海。象口所出者。則黃河是也。其泉方各二十五由延。深二十一里。泉中有金臺。臺方一由延。臺上有金蓮華。以七寶為莖。如來將五百羅漢常以月十五日於中說戒（出興起行經上卷）。

Mount Kunlun is the center of the continent of Jambudvīpa. The mountain consists entirely of jeweled stone. Surrounding it are five hundred caves, all of yellow gold, where five hundred arhats constantly dwell. The great Anavatapta spring surrounds the outside of the mountain. Within the mountain is flat land, with a river in its midst. On the banks of the river are four golden animal heads, from whose mouths water flows forth; each encircles once, returns to its respective cardinal direction, and pours into the four seas. That which flows from the elephant’s mouth is the Yellow River. The spring is twenty-five yojanas on each side and twenty-one li deep. Within the spring is a golden terrace, one yojana square. Atop the terrace is a golden lotus flower with stems made of the seven treasures. On the fifteenth day of each month, the Tathāgata, leading five hundred arhats, constantly expounds the precepts therein. (From the upper fascicle of the Xingqixing jing.)
