迦蘭陀竹園東有窣堵波,阿闍多設咄路王(唐言未生怨,舊曰阿闍世,訛略也)之所建也。如來涅槃之後,諸王共分舍利,未生怨王得以持歸,式遵崇建,而修供養。無憂王之發信心也,開取舍利,建窣堵波,尚有遺餘,時燭光景。
To the east of the Karandavenuvana is a stupa which was built by Ajatasatru-raja. After the Nirvana of Tathagata the kings divided the relics (she-li); the king Ajatasatru returned then with his share, and from a feeling of extreme reverence built (a stupa) and offered his religious offerings to it. When Asoka-raja (Wu-yau) became a believer, he opened it and took the relics, and in his turn built another stupa. This building constantly emits miraculous light. By the side of the stupa of Ajatasatru-raja is another stupa which encloses the relics of half of the body of Ananda. Formerly, when the saint was about to reach Nirvana, he left the country of Magadha and proceeded to the town of Vaisali (Fei-she-li). As these two countries disputed (about him) and began to raise troops, the venerable one, from pity, divided his body into two parts. The king of Magadha, receiving his share, returned and offered to it his religious homage, and immediately prepared in this renowned land, with great honour, to raise a stûpa. By the side of this building is a place where Buddha walked up and down. Not far from this is a stûpa. This is the place where Sâriputra and Mudgalaputra dwelt during the rainy season.
