By the side of the sangharama, and not far from it, is a stupa ; this is the spot where Tathagata sat beneath a great tree with his face to the east and received from his aunt a golden-tissued kashaya garment. A little farther on is another stupa ; this is the place where Tathagata converted eight king's sons and 500 Sakyas. Within the eastern gate of the city, on the left of the road, is a stupa ; this is where the Prince Siddartha practised (athletic sports and competitive) arts. Outside the gate is the temple of Isvara-deva. In the temple is a figure of the Deva made of stone, which has the appearance of rising in a bent position. This is the temple which the royal prince when an infant (in swaddling clothes) entered. King Suddhodana was returning from the Lumbini (Lavani—La-fa-ni) garden, after having gone to meet the prince. Passing by this temple the king said, "This temple is noted for its many spiritual exhibitions (miracles). The Sakya children who here seek divine protection always obtain what they ask; we must take the royal prince to this place and offer up our worship." At this time the nurse (foster-mother), carrying the child in her arms, entered the temple; then the stone image raised itself and saluted the prince. When the prince left, the image again seated itself. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 6.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.34) - [Next: 6.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.36) - [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.6.2.11) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.35) · Pramāṇa
