4.38

The eight countries raised troops to fight for the relics. The brāhmaṇa named Dhūmra shouted loudly: 'They should be divided into eight portions.' At that time, the city of Kuśīnagara received the first portion, and so on, until King Ajātaśatru received the eighth portion. Each returned to his own country and erected a stūpa. The brāhmaṇa named Dhūmra received the urn that held the relics and returned to the village of Nāra to erect a stūpa. The brāhmaṇa Nārāyaṇa received the ashes and returned to his country to erect a stūpa. At that time, there were for the first time ten stūpas in Jambudvīpa (Daśabhāṇavāra-vinaya).
