The tissues of the kashaya stuff are yet visible as if engraved on the rock. To the south of the town of Mungali 400 li or so we come to Mount Hila (Hi-lo). The water flowing through the valley here turns to the west, and then flowing again eastward remounts (towards its source). Various fruits and flowers skirt the banks of the stream and face the sides of the mountains. There are high crags and deep caverns, and placid streams winding through the valleys: sometimes are heard the sounds of people's voices, sometimes the reverberation of musical notes. There are, moreover, square stones here like long narrow bedsteads, perfected as if by the hand of men; they stretch in continuous lines from the mountain side down the valley. It was here Tathagata dwelling in old days, by listening to half a Gâthâ of the law was content to kill himself. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.3.7) - [Next: 3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.3.9) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.3) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.3.1.5) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.3.8) · Pramāṇa
