7.36
伽藍北三四里有窣堵波,是如來將往拘尸那國入般涅槃,人與非人隨從世尊,至此佇立。次西北不遠有窣堵波,是佛於此最後觀吠舍釐城。其南不遠有精舍,前建窣堵波,是菴沒羅女園持以施佛。
Not far from this is a spirit-dwelling (a chapel?), its shape like a pile of bricks. Tradition says this stone-pile is where the householder Vimalakirtti preached the law when he was sick. Not far from this is a stupa; this is the site of the old residence of Ratnakara (P'ao-tsi). Not far from this is a stupa; this is the old house of the lady Amra. It was here the aunt of Buddha and other Bhikshunis obtained Nirvana. To the north of the sanghârâma 3 or 4 li is a stûpa ; this indicates the place where Tathâgata stopped when about to advance to Kuśinagara to die, whilst men and Kinnaras followed him. From this not far to the north-west is a stûpa; here Buddha for the very last time gazed upon the city of Vaiśâlî. Not far to the south of this is a vihâra, before which is built a stûpa; this is the site of the garden of the Âmra-girl, which she gave in charity to Buddha.
