大唐西域記 8.16

8.16

故城東南有屈（居勿反）吒阿濫摩（唐言鷄園）僧伽藍，無憂王之所建焉。無憂王初信佛法也，式遵崇建，修殖善種，召集千僧，凡、聖兩眾，四事供養，什物周給。頹毀已久，基址尚在。

To the south-east of the old city there is the sangháráma called K'iu-cha-'o-lan-mo (Kukkutarama), which was built by Asoka-raja when he first became a believer in the religion of Buddha. It was a sort of first-fruit (preparation in planting the root of virtue), and a pattern of majestic construction (lofty building). He gathered there a thousand priests; a double congregation of lay people and saints made their offerings of the four necessary things, and provided gratuitously all the articles for use. This building has long been in ruins, but the foundation walls are still preserved. By the side of the sangháráma is a great stûpa called 'O-mo-lo-kia (Amalaka), which is the name of a fruit used as a medicine in India. King Asóka having fallen sick and lingering for a long time, felt that he would not recover, and so desired to offer all his possessions (gems and valuables) so as to crown his religious merit (to plant high the field of merit). The minister who was carrying on the government was unwilling to comply with his wish. Some time after this, as he was eating part of an Âmalaka fruit, he playfully put the half of it (in the hand of the king) for an offering. Holding the fruit in his hand he said with a sigh to his minister, "Who now is lord of Jambudvipa?" The minister replied, "Only your majesty."
