7.53

度漁人東北行百餘里,故城西有窣堵波,無憂王所建,高百餘尺,是佛在昔於此六月說法度諸天、人。此北百四五十步有小窣堵波,如來昔於此處為諸苾芻制戒。次西不遠有如來髮、爪窣堵波。如來昔於此處,近遠邑人相趨輻湊,焚香散花,燈炬不絕。

Going north-east from this spot about 100 li, we come to an old city, on the west of which is a stûpa built by Asôka-râja, in height about 100 feet. Here Buddha, when living in the world, preached the law for six months and converted the Dêvas. Going north 140 or 150 paces is a little stûpa; here Buddha, for the sake of the Bhikshus, established some rules of discipline. West of this not far is a stûpa containing hair and nail relics. Tathâgata formerly residing in this place, men from all the neighbouring towns and villages flocked together and burnt incense, and scattered flowers, and lighted lamps and torches in his honour. Going north-west from this 1400 or 1500 li, crossing some mountains and entering a valley, we come to the country of Ni-po-lo (Nêpâla).
