The Waiguo zhuan states: 'Seven to eight hundred li into the rising sea southwest of Daqin, one reaches Coral Island. At the bottom of the island is bedrock, upon which coral grows; people harvest it with iron nets.' Ren Fang's Shuyi ji states: 'Coral trees are emerald green in color and grow on the seabed. A single trunk has dozens of branches, and there are no leaves among the branches; the large ones are five or six chi tall, while the small ones are over a chi.' Master Huilin states: 'In the first year it is blue-green, in the second year yellow, and in the third year it is eaten and ruined by worms.' The Da zhidu lun states: 'Coral comes from stone trees in the sea.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.217](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.217) - [Next: 3.219](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.219) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.3.218) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.218](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.218) · Pramāṇa
