弶伽河(上其亮反梵語舊云恒河應云殑伽音魚等反西域河名此河本出無熱惱池南面以彼沙細最多故引為喻)。

River Gaṅgā (弶伽河: the first character is [pronounced] 其亮 [jiàng]; Sanskrit; formerly called Henghe, correctly it should be Jingjia [殑伽], pronounced 魚等 [gěng]. The name of a river in the Western Regions; this river originally emerges from the southern face of Lake Anavatapta. Because its sand is the finest and most numerous, it is cited as an analogy).
