In the crags and surrounding valleys there are several tens of stone dwellings which Asoka-raja made for Upagupta and other Arhats, by the intervention of the genii. By the side of it is an old tower, the ruins of which are a mass of heaped-up stones. There is also a pond, the gentle ripples of which play over its surface as pure as a mirror. The people far and near call it the sacred water. If any one drinks thereof or washes in it, the defilement of their sins is washed away and destroyed. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 8.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.13) - [Next: 8.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.15) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.8.17) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.14) · Pramāṇa
