This is the place where Tathagata overcame the fiery Naga to which Kasyapa sacrificed. Tathagata, when about to convert these men, first subdued the object of their worship, and rested in the house of the fiery Naga of the Brahmacharins. After the middle of the night the Naga vomited forth fire and smoke. Buddha having entered Samadhi, likewise raised the brilliancy of fire, and the house-cell seemed to be filled with fiery flames. The Brahmacharins, fearing that the fire was destroying Buddha, all ran together to the spot with piteous cries, commiserating his fate. On this Uravilva-Kasyapa addressed his followers and said, "As I now gather (see), this is not a fire, but the Sramana subduing the fiery Naga." Tathagata having got the fiery dragon firmly fixed in his alms-bowl, on the morrow came forth holding it in his hand, and showed it to the disciples of the unbelievers. By the side of this monument is a stupa, where 500 Pratyeka Buddhas at the same time entered Nirvana. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 8.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.60) - [Next: 8.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.62) - [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.8.71) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.61) · Pramāṇa
