4.38

大城東南閻牟那河西,大伽藍東門外,有窣堵波,無憂王之所建也。如來在昔,曾於此處說法度人。其側又一窣堵波,中有如來髮、爪也。舍利子、沒特伽羅諸阿羅漢髮、爪窣堵波,周其左右,數十餘所。如來寂滅之後,此國為諸外道所詿誤焉,信受邪法,捐廢正見。今有五伽藍者,乃異國論師與諸外道及婆羅門論議勝處,因此建焉。

To the south-west of the capital and west of the river Yamuna is a sangharama, outside the eastern gate of which is a stupa built by Asoka-raja. The Tathagata, when in the world in former days, preached the law in this place to convert men. By its side is another stupa, in which there are relics of the Tathagata's hair and nails. Surrounding this on the right and left are stupas enclosing the hair and nail relics of Sariputra and of Mu-te-kia-lo (Maudgalyayana) and other Arhats, several tens in number. verted to false doctrine, and forsook the orthodox views. Now there are five sanghārāmas in places where masters of treatises from different countries, holding controversies with the heretics and Brāhmans, prevailed; they were erected on this account.
