忉利天城東。照明園中有佛髮塔。忉利城南。麁澁園中有佛衣塔。忉利城西。歡喜園中有佛鉢塔。忉利城北。駕御園中有佛牙塔。大智論云。天帝釋取菩薩髮。於天上城東門外立髮塔。又持菩薩寶衣。於城東門外立衣塔（祐案經律。人中有四大塔。生處塔。在迦維羅衛國。處三千日月。萬二千天地之中。成道塔。在摩竭提國。善勝道場元吉樹下。轉法輪塔。在波羅柰國。古仙人住處鹿野苑中。涅槃塔。在拘夷那竭國。力士生地。秀林雙樹間）祐仰惟。至人處世利益弘大。髮爪衣鉢咸為法事。故能寶剎霞起廣被人天。造塔之源。非唯散身而已也。

East of the city of Trāyastriṃśa Heaven, in the Garden of Illumination, there is a stūpa for the Buddha's hair. South of the city of Trāyastriṃśa, in the Rough and Astringent Garden, there is a stūpa for the Buddha's robe. West of the city of Trāyastriṃśa, in the Garden of Joy, there is a stūpa for the Buddha's bowl. North of the city of Trāyastriṃśa, in the Garden of Chariots, there is a stūpa for the Buddha's tooth. The Dazhidulun states: "Śakra, Lord of the Gods, took the Bodhisattva's hair and erected a hair-stūpa outside the eastern gate of the celestial city; he also took the Bodhisattva's precious robe and erected a robe-stūpa outside the eastern gate of the city." (Sengyou notes: According to the sūtras and vinayas, there are four great stūpas among humans: The stūpa of the place of birth is in the realm of Kapilavastu, situated at the center of three thousand suns and moons, of twelve thousand heavens and earths. The stūpa of the attainment of the Way is in the realm of Magadha, beneath the primordially auspicious tree at the seat of excellent victory. The stūpa of the turning of the wheel of the Dharma is in the realm of Vārāṇasī, in the Deer Park where ancient ṛṣis dwelt. The stūpa of the nirvāṇa is in the realm of Kuśinagara, the birthplace of the mallas, between the twin trees of the splendid grove.) Sengyou reflects with reverence: When the Supreme Person dwelt in the world, his benefits were vast and great. His hair, nails, robes, and bowl all served as Dharma activities. Therefore, precious shrines have risen like clouds of rosy dawn, broadly covering gods and humans. The origin of erecting stūpas was not merely for the dispersal of [the relics of] his physical body.
