Going south-east from this 100 li or so, we come to a ruined stūpa, but still several tens of feet high. Formerly, after the Nirvāṇa of Tathāgata, the great kings of the eight countries divided his relics. The Brāhman who meted out their several portions, smearing the inside of his pitcher with honey, after allotting them their shares, took the pitcher and returned to his country. He then scraped the remaining relics from the vessel, and raised over them a stūpa, and in honour to the vessel (pitcher) he placed it also within the stūpa, and hence the name (of Drōṇa stūpa) was given it. Afterwards Aśōkarāja, opening (the stūpa), took the relics and the pitcher, and in place of the old one built a great stūpa. To this day, on festival occasions (fast-days), it emits a great light. Going north-east from this, and crossing the Ganges, after travelling 140 or 150 li, we come to the country of Fei-she-li (Vaiśāli). > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 7.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7.29) - [Next: 7.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7.31) - [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.7.2.6) — Samuel Beal 1884, English ## Linked texts (1) - [大唐大慈恩寺三藏法師傳](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2053.3.16) — 慧立 & 彥悰, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.7.30) · Pramāṇa
