大唐西域記 9.30

9.30

未生怨王窣堵波，有尊者阿難半身舍利。昔尊者將寂滅也，去摩揭陀國，趣吠舍釐城。兩國交爭，欲興兵甲。尊者傷愍，遂分其身，摩揭陀王奉歸供養，即斯勝地，式修崇建。其傍則有如來經行之處。次此不遠有窣堵波，是舍利子及沒特伽羅子等安居之所。

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.
