The Country of Zhanpo瞻波國
瞻波國周四千餘里，國大都城北背殑伽河，周四十餘里。土地墊濕，稼穡滋盛。氣序溫暑，風俗淳質。伽藍數十所，多有傾毀。僧徒二百餘人，習小乘教。天祠二十餘所，異道雜居。
The country of Zhanpo is more than four thousand li around. The great capital city of the country turns its back on the Qingqie river to the north, and it is more than forty li around. The soil is low and damp, and planting and reaping grow well and thrive. The climate is warm and hot, and the customs are simple and plain. There are several tens of monasteries, and many of them have leaned over and fallen. The monks are more than two hundred, and they study the teaching of the Lesser Vehicle. There are more than twenty temples of the gods, and followers of other ways live mixed among them.
2The first capital raised in the continent of Shanbu
都城壘磚，其高數丈，基址崇峻，卻敵高險。在昔劫初，人物伊始，野居穴處，未知宮室。後有天女，降跡人中，遊殑伽河，濯流自媚，感靈有娠，生四子焉。分贍部洲，各擅區宇，建都築邑，封疆畫界，此則一子之國都，贍部洲諸城之始也。
The capital city is built up of brick and is several fathoms high. Its foundation is lofty and steep, and it stands high and hard for an enemy to take. Long ago at the beginning of the kalpa, when men and things were first beginning, they lived in the open and dwelt in caves and did not yet know houses. Later there was a heavenly woman who let down her traces among men. She wandered by the Qingqie river and washed herself in the stream and made herself fair, and she was moved by a spirit and conceived, and she bore four sons. They divided the continent of Shanbu, and each held a region of his own. They raised capitals and built towns, and they marked out their bounds and drew their borders. This place is the capital of the country of one of those sons, and it is the first of all the cities of the continent of Shanbu.
3The lone island ringed with water
城東百四五十里，殑伽河南，水環孤嶼，崖巘崇峻。上有天祠，神多靈感。鑿崖為室，引流成沼，花林奇樹，巨石危峰，仁智所居，觀者忘返。
A hundred and forty or fifty li east of the city, south of the Qingqie river, there is a lone island ringed with water, and its cliffs and peaks are lofty and steep. On it there is a temple of the gods, and the spirit there answers with many wonders. They have cut into the cliff to make chambers and drawn the stream in to make a pool. Flowering groves and rare trees, great rocks and perilous peaks are there, a dwelling for the kind and the wise, and those who look on it forget to go home.
4Wild elephants and fierce beasts
國南境山林中。野象猛獸群遊千數。
In the mountains and forests on the southern border of the country, wild elephants and fierce beasts wander in herds that are counted by the thousand.
