This is the spot where Sakra, the lord of Devas, received Bodhisattva in his arms. When Bodhisattva was born, then Sakra, the king of Devas, took him and wrapped him in an exquisite and divine robe. Close to this there are four stûpas to denote the place where the four heavenly kings received Bodhisattva in their arms. When Bodhisattva was born from the right side of his mother, the four kings wrapped him in a golden-coloured cotton vestment, and placing him on a golden slab (bench) and bringing him to his mother, they said, "The queen may rejoice indeed at having given birth to such a fortunate child!" If the Devas rejoiced at the event, how much more should men! By the side of these stûpas and not far from them is a great stone pillar, on the top of which is the figure of a horse, which was built by Asoka-raja. Afterwards, by the contrivance of a wicked dragon, it was broken off in the middle and fell to the ground. By the side of it is a little river which flows to the south-east. The people of the place call it the river of oil. This is the stream which the Devas caused to appear as a pure and glistening pool for the queen, when she had brought forth her child, to wash and purify herself in. Now it is changed and become a river, the stream of which is still unctuous. From this going east 300 li or so, across a wild and deserted jungle, we arrive at the kingdom of Lan-mo (Ramagrama). > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 6.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.38) - [Next: 6.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.40) - [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.6.2.14) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.6.39) · Pramāṇa
