8.48

天竺國（竺音篤或云身毒或云賢豆或云印度皆訛正云印特伽羅此云月西域記云謂諸群生輪迴不息無明長夜莫有司存其猶白日既隱宵月斯繼良以彼土賢聖繼軌導凡利物如月照臨故以名焉）。

Country of Tianzhu (天竺國: 竺 is pronounced 篤 [zhú]; it is also called Shendu, or Xiandou, or Yindu, which are all corruptions. Correctly it is Indukala [Indukāla], translated here as 'Moon'. The Records of the Western Regions says: 'It means that all living beings transmigrate endlessly through the long night of ignorance, without anyone presiding over them. It is just as when the bright sun has set, the night moon follows it. Truly, because in that land sages and saints have succeeded one another in their tracks, guiding the ordinary and benefiting creatures just as the moon shines down upon them, it is named after it').
