### [34.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.34.43)

帝釋開棺取佛右牙天上起塔。大眾收取舍利（此云骨身）滿八金壜。入俱尸城七日供養（涅槃）八國共分舍利。闍王得八萬四千數。以紫金函盛於恒河中。作塔藏之（阿育王經）。

> Śakra opened the coffin, took the Buddha's upper-right tooth, and erected a stūpa in heaven. The assembly collected the śarīra (here translated as 'bone-body'), filling eight golden jars, and brought them into the city of Kuśi\[nagara\] for seven days of offerings (Nirvāṇa). Eight kingdoms jointly divided the śarīra. King Ajātaśatru obtained eighty-four thousand portions, placed them in a casket of purple gold into the Ganges River, and built a stūpa to enshrine them (Aśokarājasūtra).
