This is the treasury place of the hostages, therefore we find this inscription, "When the saṅghārāma decays let men take (of the treasure) and repair it." Not long ago there was a petty (frontier) king of a covetous mind and of a wicked and cruel disposition; hearing of the quantity of jewels and precious substances concealed in this convent, he drove away the priests and began digging for them. The King of the Spirits had on his head the figure of a parrot, which now began to flap its wings and to utter screams. The earth shook and quaked, the king and his army were thrown down prostrate on the ground; after a while, arising from the earth, he confessed his fault and returned. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 1.105](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.105) - [Next: 1.107](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.107) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.1.35.5) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.106](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.106) · Pramāṇa
