[Jibin] Here it is translated as Low Caste. The *Xiyu ji* says: “Kāśmīra, formerly called Jibin, is erroneous. It is in the territory of Northern India. After Madhyāntika obtained that land, he established five hundred monasteries, bought low-caste people from various foreign countries to fill menial service and provide for the saṅgha. After Madhyāntika entered cessation, those low-caste people set up their own chiefs. The neighboring countries despised their low caste and would not associate or form marriage alliances with them, calling them Kṛtya. In the language of the Tang this means 'Purchased'.”
