The spot where I lay was on the boundary of the kingdom of Sarandip, and a very populous city was situated near the place; in that city there was a great pagoda, and the king of that country had a daughter extremely well-favoured and beautiful. "Many kings and princes were desperately in love with her.
The Musalmans consider our doctrine of the Trinity as a deadly error. Sarandip is the name for the island of Ceylon among the Arabs and Persians, as well as the Musalmans of India. The ancient Hindu name was Lanka, applied both to the island and its capital. The term kisra is evidently applied here to Naushirwan, not to Cyrus, as is stated in some books.
"At last, we arrived in a country which lay between the boundaries of the kingdoms of Zerbad and Sarandip; a city appeared, which was more populous than Constantinople, and the climate very fine and agreeable. On finding that the king of that country was more renowned for his justice than Naushirwan , and also for being the protector of his subjects; my heart was greatly rejoiced.
