He sent men to grasp it, and they retrieved a golden statue, but it lacked a halo and pedestal. It was welcomed and enshrined at Changgan Monastery (located outside the city of Jiankang; changgan means 'long ridge'; the classic says, 'Embracing Gan and Yue,' meaning the land of Yue has many long ridges). A year later, a man from Linhai Commandery netted a bronze lotus pedestal bearing an inscription in Brāhmī script: 'Made by the fourth daughter of King Aśoka.' An imperial order directed it to be paired with the Changgan statue. Another forty years later, a pearl diver in Hepu retrieved a golden halo from the sea. An imperial order commanded it to be affixed to the statue, and it fit perfectly as if originally one. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 36.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36.30) - [Next: 36.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36.32) - [Up: 36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.36.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36.31) · Pramāṇa
