53.15

Emperor Ming of the Han asked Mātanga: "East of Baima Monastery there is a strange light, which the people call the Sage's Mound." Mātanga said: "In the past, King Aśoka enshrined relics in eighty-four thousand pagodas; within the realm of Cīnasthāna there are nineteen places, and this is one of them." The Emperor went together with him to pay homage, and decreed that a pagoda be built over it, nine storeys and two hundred feet high.
