The bright lines of the tissue are of a minute and distinct character, as if carved on the stone. The faithful and pure frequently come to make their offerings here; but when the heretics and men of evil mind speak lightly of or insult the stone, the dragon-king inhabiting the pool causes the winds to rise and rain to fall. By the side of the lake, and not far off, is a stupa. This is where Bodhisattva, during his preparatory life, was born as a king of elephants, provided with six tusks (chhadanta). A hunter, desirous to obtain the tusks, put on a robe in colour like that of a religious ascetic, and taking his bow, awaited the arrival of his prey. The elephant king, from respect to the kashaya robe, immediately broke off his tusks and gave them to the hunter. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7.14) - [Next: 7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7.16) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.7.1.7) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7.15) · Pramāṇa
