This is to commemorate the spot where, in the Bhadra-kalpa when men lived to the age of 40,000 years, Kanakamuni Buddha was born. To the north-east of the city, not far, is a stupa; it was here, having arrived at complete enlightenment, he met his father. Farther north there is a stupa containing the relics of his bequeathed body; in front of it is a stone pillar with a lion on the top, and about 20 feet high; on this is inscribed a record of the events connected with his Nirvana; this was built by Asoka-raja. To the north-east of the city about 40 li is a stupa. This is the spot where the prince sat in the shade of a tree to watch the ploughing festival. Here he engaged in profound meditation and reached the condition of "absence of desire." The king seeing the prince in the shade of the tree and engrossed in quiet contemplation, and observing that whilst the sun's rays shed their bright light around him, yet the shadow of the tree did not move, his heart, recognising the spiritual character of the prince, was deeply reverent. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 6.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.29) - [Next: 6.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.31) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.6.2.7) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.30) · Pramāṇa
