This is the place where Bimbisārarāja went to have an interview with Buddha. When Tathāgata first obtained the fruit of a Buddha, knowing that the hearts of the people of the Magadha were waiting for him athirst, he accepted the invitation of Bimbisārarāja, and early in the morning, putting on his robes, he took his begging-dish, and with a thousand Bhikshus around him, on the right hand and the left (he advanced). In front and behind these there were a number of aged Brāhmans who went with twisted hair (jaṭinaḥ), and being desirous of the law, wore their dyed garments (chīvara). Followed by such a throng, he entered the city of Rājagṛha. Then Lord Śakra (Ti-shih), king of Devas, changing his appearance into that of a Mānava (Ma-na-p'o) youth, with a crown upon his head and his hair bound up, in his left hand holding a golden pitcher and in his right a precious staff, he walked above the earth four fingers high, leading Buddha along the road in front, in the midst of the vast assembly. Then the king of the Magadha country, Bimbisara (Pin-pi-so-lo) by name, accompanied by all the Brahman householders within the land, and the merchants (ku-sse), 100,000 myriads in all, going before and behind, leading and following, proceeded from the city of Rajagriha to meet and escort the holy congregation. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World > South-east from the spot where Bimbasara-raja met Buddha, at a distance of about 20 li, we come to the town of Kalapinaka (Kia-lo-pi-na-kia). In this town is a stupa which was built by Asoka-raja. This is the place where Sariputra, the venerable one, was born. The well of the place still exists. By the side of the place is a stupa. This is where the venerable one obtained Nirvana; the relics of his body, therefore, are enshrined therein. He also was of a high Brahman family. His father was a man of great learning and erudition; he penetrated thoroughly the most intricate questions. There were no books he had not thoroughly investigated. His wife had a dream and told it to her husband. "Last night," said she, "during my sleep my dreams were troubled by a strange man whose body was covered with armour; in his hand he held a diamond mace with which he broke the mountains; departing, he stood at the foot of one particular mountain." "This dream," the husband said, "is extremely good. You will bear a son of deep learning; he will be honoured in the world, and will attack the treatises of all the masters and break down their teaching (schools). Being led to consider, he will become the disciple of one who is more than human." > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 9.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9.49) - [Next: 9.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9.51) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.9.1.52) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.9.50) · Pramāṇa
