大唐西域記 3.15

3.15

瞢揭釐城西五十餘里，渡大河，至盧醯呾迦（唐言赤）窣堵波，高五十餘尺，無憂王之所建也。昔如來修菩薩行，為大國王，號曰慈力，於此刺身血以𩚅五藥叉（舊曰夜叉，訛也）。

Going west of the town of Mungali 50 li or so, and crossing the great river, we come to a stupa called Lu-hi-ta-kia (Rohitaka); it is about 50 feet high, and was built by Asoka-raja. In former days, when Tathagata was practising the life of a Bodhisattva, he was the king of a great country, and was called Ts'z'-li (power of love). In this place he pierced his body, and with his blood fed the five Yakshas. To the north-east of the town of Mungali 30 li or so is the Ho-pu-to-shi stupa, about 40 feet in height. In former days Tathagata here expounded the law for the sake of men and Devas, to instruct (enlighten) and guide them. After Tathagata had gone, from the earth suddenly arose (this stupa); the people highly reverenced it, and offered flowers and incense without end. To the west of the stone stupa, after crossing the great river and going 30 or 40 li, we arrive at Vihara, in which is a figure of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Its spiritual influences exhibit themselves in a mysterious way, and its miraculous powers (evidences) are manifested in an illustrious manner. The votaries of the law come together from every side, and offer it continual sacrifices (presents). Going north-west 140 or 150 li from the statue of Kwan-tsz'-tsai Bodhisattva, we come to the mountain of Lan-po-lu. The crest of this mountain has a dragon lake about 30 li or so in circuit. The clear waves roll in their majesty, the water pure as a bright mirror.
