大唐西域記 6.33

6.33

誅釋西南，有四小窣堵波，四釋種拒軍處。初，勝軍王嗣位也，求婚釋種。釋種鄙其非類，謬以家人之女，重禮娉焉。勝軍王立為正后，其產子男，是為毘盧釋迦王。毘盧釋迦欲就舅氏請益受業，至此城南，見新講堂，即中憩駕。諸釋聞之，逐而詈曰：「卑賤婢子，敢居此室！此室諸釋建也，擬佛居焉。」毘盧釋迦嗣位之後，追復先辱，便興甲兵，至此屯軍。釋種四人躬耕畎畝，便即抗拒，兵寇退散，已而入城。族人以為承輪王之祚胤，為法王之宗子，敢行凶暴，安忍殺害，污辱宗門，絕親遠放。四人被逐，北趣雪山，一為烏仗那國王，一為梵衍那國王，一為呬摩呾羅國王，一為商彌國王，奕世傳業，苗裔不絕。

To the north-west of the capital there are several hundreds and thousands of stûpas, indicating the spot where the members of the Sakya tribe were slaughtered. Virudhaka-raja having subdued the Sakyas, and captured the members of their tribe to the number of 9990 myriads of people, then ordered them to be slaughtered. They piled their bodies like straw, and their blood was collected in lakes. The Devas moved the hearts of men to collect their bones and bury them. To the south-west of the place of massacre are four little stûpas. This is the place where the four Sakyas withstood an army. When first Prasenajita became king, he sought an alliance by marriage with the Sakya race. The Sakyas despised him as not of their family, and so deceived him by giving him as a wife a child of a servant, whom they largely endowed. Prasenajita-raja established her as his principal queen, and she brought forth in due time a son, who was called Virudhaka-raja. And now Virudhaka was desirous to go to the family of his maternal uncles to pursue his studies under their direction. Having come to the south part of the city, he there saw a new preaching-hall, and there he stopped his chariot. The Sakyas hearing of it, forthwith drove him away, saying, "How dare you, baseborn fellow! occupy this abode, an abode built by the Sakyas, in appearance (or, intended for) an abode of Buddha?"

After Virudhaka had succeeded to the throne he longed to revenge his former insult; he therefore raised an army and occupied this place with his troops, who took possession of the fields. Four men of the Sakyas who were engaged in ploughing between the watercourses immediately opposed the progress of the soldiers, and having scattered them, entered the town. Their clansmen, considering that their tribe was one in which there had been a long succession of universal monarchs, and that the honourable children of such righteous kings had dared to act cruelly and impetuously, and without patience to kill and slay, and so had brought disgrace on their family, drove them away from their home. The four men, having been banished, went to the north among the Snowy Mountains; one became king of the country of Bamyan, one of Udyana, one of Himatala, one of Sambi (Kausambi?). They have transmitted their kingly authority from generation to generation without any interruption. To the south of the city 3 or 4 li is a grove of Nyagrodha trees in which is a stupa built by Asoka-raja. This is the place where Sakya Tathagata, having returned to his country after his enlightenment, met his father and preached the law. Suddhodana-raja, knowing that Tathagata had defeated Mara and was engaged in travelling about, leading people to the truth and converting them, was moved by a strong desire to see him, and considered how he could pay him the reverence due to him.
