大唐西域記 1.84

1.84

伽藍內南佛堂中有佛澡罐，量可斗餘；雜色炫燿，金石難名。又有佛牙，其長寸餘，廣八九分，色黃白，質光淨。又有佛掃帚，迦奢草作也，長餘二尺，圍可七寸，其把以雜寶飾之。凡此三物，每至六齋，法俗咸會，陳設供養，至誠所感，或放光明。

Within the convent, in the southern hall of Buddha, there is the washing-basin which Buddha used. It contains about a peck, and is of various colours, which dazzle the eyes. It is difficult to name the gold and stone of which it is made. Again, there is a tooth of Buddha about an inch long, and about eight or nine tenths of an inch in breadth. Its colour is yellowish white; it is pure and shining. Again, there is the sweeping brush of Buddha, made of the plant "Ka-she" (kāśa). It is about two feet long and about seven inches round. Its handle is ornamented with various gems. These three relics are presented with offerings on each of the six fast-days by the assembly of lay and cleric believers. Those who have the greatest faith in worship see the objects emitting a radiance of glory. To the north of the convent is a stūpa, in height about 200 feet, which is covered with a plaster hard as the diamond, and ornamented with a variety of precious substances. It encloses a sacred relic (she-li), and at times this also reflects a divine splendour.
