大唐西域記 7.42

7.42

述本生東有故基，上建窣堵波，光明時燭，祈請或遂，是如來說《普門陀羅尼》等經重閣講堂餘趾也。

To the east of the spot where Buddha explained this birth (jātaka) is a ruined foundation above which is built a stūpa. A bright light is from time to time reflected here. Those who ask (pray) in worship obtain their requests. The ruins of the turretted preaching-hall, where Buddha uttered the Samantamukha dhāraṇī and other sūtras, are still visible. By the side of the preaching-hall, and not far from it, is a stūpa which contains the relics of the half body of Ānanda. Not far from this are several stūpas — the exact number has not yet been determined. Here a thousand Pratyēka Buddhas (To-kio) attained Nirvāṇa. Both within and without the city of Vaiśālī, and all round it, the sacred vestiges are so numerous that it would be difficult to recount them all. At every step commanding sites and old foundations are seen, which the succession of seasons and lapse of years have entirely destroyed. The forests are uprooted; the shallow lakes are dried up and stinking; nought but offensive remnants of decay can be recorded.
