大唐西域記 2.55

2.55

城北四五里有故伽藍，庭宇荒涼，僧徒寡少，然皆遵習小乘法教。即達磨呾邏多（唐言法救。舊曰達磨多羅，訛也）論師於此製《雜阿毘達磨論》。

Outside the western gate is a Deva temple. The image of the god is imposing and works constant miracles. To the east of the city is a stūpa built by Aśōka-rāja. This is the place where the four former Buddhas delivered the law (preached). Among former saints and sages many have come (descended spiritually) from Mid-India to this place to instruct all creatures (things). For example, Vasumitra, doctor of śāstras, who composed the Chung-sse-fen-o-pi-ta-mo (Abhidharmaprakaraṇa-pāda) Śāstra in this place. To the north of the town 4 or 5 li is an old saṅghārāma, of which the halls are deserted and cold. There are very few priests in it, and all of them follow the teaching of the Little Vehicle. Dharmatrata, master of sastras, here composed the Ts'a-o-pi-ta-ma-lun (Samyuktabhidharma Sastra). By the side of the sangharama is a stupa several hundred feet high, which was built by Asoka-raja. It is made of carved wood and veined stone, the work of various artists. Sakya Buddha, in old time when king of this country, prepared himself as a Bodhisattva (for becoming a Buddha). He gave up all he had at the request of those who asked, and spared not to sacrifice his own body as a bequeathed gift (a testamentary gift). Having been born in this country a thousand times as king, he gave during each of those thousands births in this excellent country, his eyes as an offering.
