迦濕彌羅（或云迦葉蜜羅舊云罽賓訛略也此翻為阿誰入謂此國未建時有大龍池人莫敢近其後有羅漢見地形勝宜人居止從龍乞容一膝地時龍許之羅漢變身漸大膝滿龍池龍以言信捨之而去羅漢復以神力乾竭其水遂建城郭眾人咸言我等不因聖師阿誰得入故因此語乃立國名其國北印度境也）。

Kaśmīra (迦濕彌羅: also written 迦葉蜜羅. Formerly called Jibin [罽賓], which is a corrupt abbreviation. Translated here as 'Who Enters?' [阿誰入]. It is said that before this country was established, there was a great dragon lake which no one dared approach. Later, an arhat, seeing the topography was magnificent and suitable for human habitation, begged the dragon for a piece of ground to place one knee. The dragon granted it, whereupon the arhat transformed his body to grow larger until his knee filled the dragon lake. The dragon, true to his word, relinquished it and departed. The arhat then used spiritual powers to dry up its waters and established walled cities. The multitude all said: 'Were it not for the holy master, who could have entered?' Hence the country was named after these words. The country is in the territory of Northern India).
