According to Master Lingyu's Sacred Traces Record: 'The monastery opens northeast two gates, and surrounding the Jetavana compound there are eighteen monasteries.' Furthermore, according to the Sigao: 'At the Jetavana \[Monastery\], the four gates open through, intersecting in a cross.' According to the diagram presented here, there is no northern gate. Examining this through facts, their construction earlier and later differed in their regulations; \[authors\] simply arranged them according to what they heard and saw at their respective times, which is not at all surprising or strange. This Illustrated Scripture depicts the initial laying out of the gold strings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1899.1.12) - [Next: 1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1899.1.14) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1899.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1899~en-mt.1.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1899.1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1899.1.13) · Pramāṇa
