6.11
舉帶窣堵波側不遠,有井。如來在世,汲充佛用。其側有窣堵波,無憂王之所建也,中有如來舍利。經行之迹,說法之處,並樹旌表,建窣堵波。冥祇警衛,靈瑞間起,或鼓天樂,或聞神香,景福之祥,難以備敘。
Not far from the stupa just named is a well. Tathagata, when in the world, drew from this well for his personal use. By the side of it is a stupa which was built by Asoka-raja; in it are some sariras of Tathagata; here also are spots where there are traces of walking to and fro and preaching the law. To commemorate both these circumstances, (the king) erected a pillar and built the stupa. A mysterious sense of awe surrounds the precincts of the place; many miracles are manifested also. Sometimes heavenly music is heard, at other times divine odours are perceived. The lucky (happy) presages (or, the omens that indicate religious merit) would be difficult to recount in full.
