城南四十餘里至霫（𦙃立反）蔽多伐剌祠城。凡地大震，山崖崩墜，周此城界，無所動搖。

Rahula on this went forth and stood at the palace gate. Looking at all who came towards the spot, suddenly he beheld a man holding in his hand a relic casket (pitcher). The great minister said, "What is your will? what have you to offer ? " He replied, " Some relics of Buddha." The minister answered, " I will protect them for you. I will first go and tell the king." Rahula, fearing lest the king on account of the great value of the relics should repent him of his former promise, went quickly to the sangharama and mounted the stupa ; by the power of his great faith, the stone cupola opened itself, and then he placed the relics therein. This being done, he was quickly coming out when he caught the hem of his garment in the stone. The king sent to pursue him, but by the time the messengers arrived at the stupa, the stones had closed over him ; and this is the reason why a black oily substance exudes from the crevices of the building. To the south of the city 40 li or so, we come to the town of Si-pi-to-fa-la-sse (Svetavaras). In the case of earthquakes, and even when the tops of the mountains fall, there is no commotion around this city.
