大唐西域記 7.43

7.43

講堂側不遠有窣堵波，中有阿難半身舍利。去此不遠有數百窣堵波，欲定其數，未有克知，是千獨覺入寂滅處。吠舍釐城內外周隍，聖迹繁多，難以具舉。形勝故墟，魚鱗間峙，歲月驟改，炎涼亟移，林既摧殘，池亦枯涸，朽株餘迹，其詳驗焉。

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.
