To the south is a small stūpa: this was the place where, in old time, Bodhisattva covered the mud (with his hair). Asōka-rāja built (this stūpa) away from the road. Within the city is the ruined foundation of a great stūpa. Tradition says that it once contained a tooth of Buddha, and that it was high and of great magnificence. Now it has no tooth, but only the ancient foundations remain. By its side is a stūpa 30 feet or so in height; the old stories of the place know nothing of the origin of this fabric; they say only that it fell from heaven and placed itself here. Being no work of man's art, it is clearly a spiritual prodigy. To the south-west of the city about 10 li is a \[stûpa\]. Here Tathâgata, when living in the world, alighted, having left Mid-India and passed through the air for the sake of converting men. The people, moved by reverence, erected this building. Not far to the east is a stûpa ; it was here Bodhisattva met Dîpankara Buddha and bought the flowers. About 20 li to the south-west of the city we come to a small stone ridge, where there is a sanghârâma with a high hall and a storied tower made of piled-up stone. It is now silent and deserted, with no priests. In the middle is a stûpa 200 feet or so in height, built by Asôka-râja. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World ### [2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.2.37) 城西南二十餘里至小石嶺，有伽藍，高堂重閣，積石所成。庭宇寂寥，絕無僧侶。中有窣堵波，高二百餘尺，無憂王之所建也。 ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.2.20.2) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.2.36-37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.2.36-37) · Pramāṇa
