According to their school they visit the sacred object (figure) of their veneration. Those who study the Abhidharma honour Sariputra; those who practise meditation honour Mudgalaputra; those who recite the sutras honour Purnamaitrāyanīputra; those who study the Vinaya reverence Upāli. All the Bhikshuṇīs honour Ānanda, the Śrāmaṇeras honour Rāhula; those who study the Great Vehicle reverence the Bodhisattvas. On these days they honour the stūpas with offerings. They spread out (display) their jewelled banners; the rich (precious) coverings (parasols) are crowded together as network; the smoke of incense rises in clouds; and flowers are scattered in every direction like rain; the sun and the moon are concealed by the clouds which hang over the moist valleys. The king of the country and the great ministers apply themselves to these religious duties with zeal. To the east of the city about 5 or 6 li we come to a mountain sanghārāma. The hill-sides are pierced (excavated) to make cells (for the priests). We enter it through a valley, as by gates. This was constructed by the honourable Upagupta. There is in it a stūpa containing the nail-parings of the Tathāgata. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 4.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4.26) - [Next: 4.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4.28) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.4.7.2) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.4.27) · Pramāṇa
