長者（案天竺國俗多以商估為業遊方履險不憚艱辛彌積歲年必獲珍異上者奉王餘皆入己財盈一億德行又高便稱長者為王輔佐彼土數法萬萬為一億也）。

長者 [elder] (Note: in the custom of India, most people engage in commerce as their profession. Wandering through regions and treading perilous paths, they do not shrink from hardship. Accumulating years, they inevitably obtain rare treasures. The finest are presented to the king, and the rest enter their own possession. When their wealth reaches one hundred million and their virtuous conduct is high, they are termed 'elders,' acting as advisors to the king. In the numerical method of that land, ten thousand times ten thousand makes one hundred million).
