3.882

三中，初明起塔。五眾並得，即前《僧像》，次第禮塔是也。（此通名墳塚耳。）《增一》中，佛言：四人應起塔，輪王、羅漢、支佛、如來，又後分云：輪王無級，羅漢四級，支佛五級，如來十三級；若《十二因緣經》，八種塔並有露盤（即四簷也）。佛八重，菩薩七重，支佛六重，四果五重，三果四重，二果三重，初果二重，輪王一重，凡僧不得出簷安級。（今有出簷者，由不知教，僣同上聖。）五下，次明立像。言通朔畫。高下，後明起塔處。傳許寺中，律制屏處。相輪者，圓輪聳出，以為表相故也。

In the third [part]: first, it explains erecting a stūpa. All five assemblies may do so; this is what was referred to earlier in "Monastic Images" as paying reverence to stūpas in sequence. (This is a general term for burial mounds.) In the Ekottarika-āgama, the Buddha said: "Four persons should have stūpas erected: wheel-turning kings, arhats, pratyekabuddhas, and Tathāgatas." Also, the latter section says: "A wheel-turning king has no tiers; an arhat has four tiers; a pratyekabuddha has five tiers; a Tathāgata has thirteen tiers." According to the Twelve Nidānas Sūtra, eight kinds of stūpas all have dew-basins (that is, four eaves): eight tiers for a Buddha, seven tiers for a bodhisattva, six tiers for a pratyekabuddha, five tiers for the fourth fruit, four tiers for the third fruit, three tiers for the second fruit, two tiers for the first fruit, and one tier for a wheel-turning king; ordinary monks may not project eaves or install tiers. (Those nowadays who project eaves do so from ignorance of the teaching, arrogantly presuming to equal the supreme sages above.) From "five" onward, next, it explains erecting images; the wording encompasses both sculpted and painted. From "height" onward, it finally explains the location for erecting a stūpa: the traditions permit it inside the monastery, while the Vinaya restricts it to a secluded place. "Chattrāvalī" (xianglun) refers to the round discs towering aloft to serve as symbolic marks.
