大唐西域記 2.20.2

2.20.2

To the west of this place is a Kia-lan (saṅghārāma) with a few priests. To the south is a small stūpa: this was the place where, in old time, Bodhisattva covered the mud (with his hair). Asōka-rāja built (this stūpa) away from the road. Within the city is the ruined foundation of a great stūpa. Tradition says that it once contained a tooth of Buddha, and that it was high and of great magnificence. Now it has no tooth, but only the ancient foundations remain. By its side is a stūpa 30 feet or so in height; the old stories of the place know nothing of the origin of this fabric; they say only that it fell from heaven and placed itself here. Being no work of man's art, it is clearly a spiritual prodigy. To the south-west of the city about 10 li is a [stûpa]. Here Tathâgata, when living in the world, alighted, having left Mid-India and passed through the air for the sake of converting men. The people, moved by reverence, erected this building. Not far to the east is a stûpa ; it was here Bodhisattva met Dîpankara Buddha and bought the flowers. About 20 li to the south-west of the city we come to a small stone ridge, where there is a sanghârâma with a high hall and a storied tower made of piled-up stone. It is now silent and deserted, with no priests. In the middle is a stûpa 200 feet or so in height, built by Asôka-râja.
