Plums and other fruits grow there. In a steep rocky area south of Assam, there is a small kingdom called Gha-rog. A great physician named Thoris, who was well-versed in medicine, came from there. At the edge of his country, a large river flows from east to west, and when it reaches Calcutta, the French use ropes called "tsar," about twenty arm-spans long, instead of iron nails to bind their round boats together, and then go to China to trade. The Chinese do not allow them into Beijing, but they give them a place to trade, so both Chinese and Indian people gather there. It is said that because of this, India has all kinds of goods from China. Also, Pagri and Mon (Bhutan) are close to Paro. From Paro, going straight south for five or six days, is Daba Sangka. From there, going straight south for one day, is Tshe-zang Kha-stong, which is now under the control of southern Bhutan. There is the town of Kacha-ra there. These places are located in northern India, and have both mountains and plains, so there are tigers, leopards, bears, wild boars, buffaloes, deer, and other animals. It is said that whoever sees a tiger and a wild boar first will be victorious. Bears are very powerful and can jump down from trees and kill tigers. Therefore, in Tibet, people consider bears to be of high status, which has been verified through investigation. From there, going straight south for one day, is Bihar or Ghata-ka, where there is said to be a great Raja who is a descendant of the Ishvara, which is now under the control of the French. From there, going straight south, coral, glass incense, pearls, coarse wool cloth, sandalwood, six good medicines, and a thin and wide cloth called Kasha can be obtained from the Rongphu trading post. Going east from Rongphu, there is a place called Zoki Ghob, which has both mountains and plains, and is also the border of Assam. Not far from there is a place known as the Monkey Kingdom, which is managed by a Brahmin named Shaltapa, who has many monkey leaders, ministers, and attendants. The people living under the rule of the monkeys must offer the cooked rice from the rice fields that have been allocated to them to the monkeys. If they do not offer it, all the monkeys will disturb the rice fields, making it impossible to harvest. When the subjects have cooked the rice, the Brahmin Shaltapa will allocate shares in order to the monkey king, queen, and ministers, and then they will enjoy it in order from the king. If something bad happens to the person who offered the food, the monke

猴子不吃东西。那些人因为欠债等等,先后需要(钱),就向婆罗门暗示。猴子国王说需要多少唐卡都先后给予。这个世界是业力所安排的,如果连强者的威力都不能压制,那么对于虚伪的行为,寄托希望就是疯子。又从绒布的生意口岸越过许多南方的地方,有一个叫做达卡的大的国家,靠近大海,也被外国人占领。绒布的西边有一个叫做蒙古尔的小国,以前是南不丹的领地,也被廓尔喀夺取。那个地方的南边有一个叫做卡格拉的小地方,有说是商人旃陀罗·帕拉的家的房屋遗址。蒙古尔的西边是尼泊尔。以扬布、耶让、科孔为代表的大约二十个小国,虽然对佛教很尊敬,但后来坚持阿修罗行为的廓尔喀压制了他们。现在那个地方的觉囊卡修佛塔和圣树也只是表面上稍微受到尊重地存在着。蒙古尔的北边是锡金。克什米尔是尼泊尔的北边。那里有贾朗达拉和普拉哈里。那若巴的集会场所位于村庄的中央,但由于外道的破坏,石头铺成的地下室被称为女神像。真正的寺庙在那上面,也变成了猫头鹰的巢穴般的废墟。在西藏这里,也有人相信佐卡的谎言。又从绒布向西南方向走,有一个叫做德纳普尔的国家,那里有像绒布一样的集市。从那里向南,乘坐叫做恒河的大河上的船只,也有很多用叫做“布让”的牲畜驮着货物在陆地上行走的商人。那些人越过许多行走的集市后,到达了叫做摩诃诺迪的葱渠和恒河汇合的地方。从那里也穿过许多集市和地方后,从西边遇到了分为两支的恒河中最大的一支。那是在九十天路程的地方分为两支的,一支向东南是达卡国,一支向南笔直走,在被称为香塔普尔的地方,是孟加拉国王宫殿的根基所经过的地方。

The monkey doesn't eat. Those people needed (money) sooner or later due to debts, etc., so they hinted to the Brahmin. The monkey king said he would give as many tangkas as needed sooner or later. This world is arranged by karma, and if even the power of the strong cannot suppress it, then it is madness to place hope on false behavior. Also, crossing many southern places from the Rongbuk business port, there is a large country called Dhaka, which is close to the sea and is also occupied by foreigners. To the west of Rongbuk is a small country called Mongor, which used to be the territory of Southern Bhutan, but was also taken by the Gurkhas. To the south of that place is a small place called Khagra, where there are said to be the ruins of the house of the merchant Chandra Pala. To the west of Mongor is Nepal. About twenty small countries, represented by Yambu, Yerang, and Khokhom, although very respectful of Buddhism, were later suppressed by the Gurkhas, who adhered to the behavior of Asuras. Now the Chorten Jarung Khashor and the Sacred Tree in that place are only superficially respected. To the north of Mongor is Sikkim. Kashmir is to the north of Nepal. There are Jalandhara and Pullahari there. Naropa's assembly hall is located in the center of the village, but due to the destruction of the heretics, the stone-paved basement is called the goddess statue. The real temple is above it, and it has also become a ruin like an owl's nest. Here in Tibet, there are also people who believe in Zoka's lies. Also, going southwest from Rongbuk, there is a country called Denapur, where there is a market like Rongbuk. From there to the south, traveling by boat on the great river called the Ganges, there are also many merchants who carry goods on land with livestock called "Brang." After crossing many traveling markets, those people arrived at the confluence of the Onion Canal called Mahanodi and the Ganges River. From there, after crossing many markets and places, they met the largest of the two branches of the Ganges River from the west. That was where it split into two branches at a distance of ninety days' journey, one going southeast to the country of Dhaka, and the other going straight south, to the place called Shantapur, where the foundation of the palace of the King of Bengal passed through.

与流淌的恒河汇合。它流经南方的加尔各答,流入大海。从两条恒河汇合处算起,大约十天左右的路程,就到达了加尔各答这个地方的边缘。以前那里有一个外道仙人,死的时候说:“抓住我的尸体,这里会形成一个大村庄。”结果真的形成了一个大地方,以前是孟加拉的一部分。他的尸体在加尔各答,在一个名叫卡什·巴布尔的富人家里。后来这个地方被法国人占领,任命了一个官员,名叫戈罗斯·黑瓦,据说还有四个有权决定事务的大人物。加尔各答这个地方很大,几乎汇集了世界上所有的人。印度人有两种:摔跤手和艺人,摔跤手力气大,艺人容易聚集,所以不能只靠蛮力。也有非常美丽的人种,美女擅长唱歌跳舞,演奏陶笛和长笛。佐太地方的人,一个人也能到达。那个人自己也能轻松行走,两个人一起走就非常快。也有擅长制作白肉、水银和金器的商人到达。还制造石器、雕像、红丹和各种海盐。盛产芒果、枸杞、棕榈、贝塔萨姆、藤条、两种卡鲁穆萨、大小嘎贡、白色和蓝色的卡卡鲁、以及果实大到人拿不动的斯布拉姆西等水果。还有一种叫昂拉的,是水生植物的果实,用甘蔗制成红糖,用红糖制成白糖,再用白糖制成冰糖。用花制成的酒和用树木制成的酒,只有守护种姓的人才喝,不是那种会让人喝醉的酒。生长着莲花、乌特帕拉、卡尔维拉等香味浓郁、色彩鲜艳的花朵。地下生长着一种叫做白色和红色的食物。孔雀、大象、犀牛、大小两种猫鼬、谢乌莱(即盗贼)、豺狼等动物在大部分地区都有,但被视为珍宝的六牙象并不存在。只有长着小牙齿的四牙象才有可能存在。 如果出现灰白色的大象,它就会成为象群的首领,其余的都会跟随它。

It merges with the flowing Ganges. It flows through Calcutta in the south and into the sea. From the confluence of the two Ganges, it takes about ten days to reach the edge of the place called Calcutta. Previously, there was a non-Buddhist hermit who, when he died, said, "Grasp my corpse, and a large village will form here." As a result, a large place was formed, which was formerly part of Bengal. His corpse is in Calcutta, in the house of a rich man named Kash Babur. Later, this place was occupied by the French, who appointed an official named Goros Heva, and it is said that there were also four great men with the power to decide matters. Calcutta is a large place, and almost all the people of the world gather there. There are two types of Indians: wrestlers and performers. Wrestlers are strong, and performers are easy to gather, so one cannot rely on brute force alone. There are also very beautiful races, and beautiful women are skilled in singing and dancing, playing ocarinas and flutes. People from Zuta can also arrive alone. That person can walk easily by himself, and it is very fast when two people walk together. Merchants who are good at making white meat, mercury, and goldware also arrive. They also make stoneware, statues, red lead, and various kinds of sea salt. Mangoes, goji berries, palms, Betasam, rattan, two kinds of Karumusa, large and small Gagons, white and blue Kakaru, and fruits such as Sbramsi, which are too large for people to carry, are abundant. There is also a fruit called Angla, which is the fruit of an aquatic plant, and brown sugar is made from sugarcane, white sugar is made from brown sugar, and rock candy is made from white sugar. Wine made from flowers and wine made from trees are only drunk by those who protect the caste, and it is not the kind of wine that makes people drunk. Fragrant and colorful flowers such as lotus, utpala, and karavira grow. There is a food that grows underground called white and red. Peacocks, elephants, rhinoceroses, two kinds of mongooses, large and small, Sheule (i.e., thieves), jackals, etc. are found in most areas, but the six-tusked elephant, which is regarded as a treasure, does not exist. Only four-tusked elephants with small tusks are likely to exist. If a grayish-white elephant appears, it will become the leader of the herd, and the rest will follow it.
