He could cause passing boats to have the wind divided for ascending and descending \[the lake\]. When Shigao reached the shrine, the deity said to him, 'My home governs this lake for a thousand li. Because of past generosity, I now have abundant treasures; but because of excessive anger, I have now received the body of a python. Please take my silks and treasures to build a stupa for me, praying for birth in a good realm.' Shigao thereupon established a monastery and built a stupa in Yuzhang. Later, the python died in the mountains, its head and tail spanning several li (now Da'an Monastery). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 35.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35.39) - [Next: 35.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35.41) - [Up: 35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.35.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35.40) · Pramāṇa
