大唐西域記 6.29

6.29

城南行五十餘里，至故城，有窣堵波，是賢劫中人壽六萬歲時，迦羅迦村馱佛本生城也。城南不遠有窣堵波，成正覺已見父之處。城東南窣堵波，有彼如來遺身舍利。前建石柱，高三十餘尺，上刻師子之像，傍記寂滅之事，無憂王建焉。

Rahula. By the side of the queen's chamber is a vihara with a figure of a pupil receiving his lessons; this indicates the old foundation of the school-house of the royal prince. At the south-east angle of the city is a vihara in which is the figure of the royal prince riding a white and high-prancing horse; this was the place where he left the city. Outside each of the four gates of the city there is a vihara in which there are respectively figures of an old man, a diseased man, a dead man, and a Sraman. It was in these places the royal prince, on going his rounds, beheld the various indications, on which he received an increase of (religious) feeling, and deeper disgust at the world and its pleasures; and, filled with this conviction, he ordered his coachman to return and go home again. To the south of the city going 50 li or so, we come to an old town where there is a stupa. This is the place where Krakuchchhanda Buddha was born, during the Bhadra-kalpa when men lived to 60,000 years. To the south of the city, not far, there is a stupa; this is the place where, having arrived at complete enlightenment, he met his father. To the south-east of the city is a stupa where are that Tathagata's relics (of his bequeathed body); before it is erected a stone pillar about 30 feet high, on the top of which is carved a lion. By its side (or, on its side) is a record relating the circumstances of his Nirvana. It was erected by Asoka-raja.
