又東北三十餘里故城中塔。是人壽四萬歲時。迦諾迦牟尼佛本生城。城東北塔即此佛遺身也。無憂王為建石柱銘記之。高二丈餘　城東北四十餘里。有太子坐樹下塔。大城西北數百千塔。是誅釋子塔。有四釋子拒軍。城人不受被放出境。一為烏仗王。三為梵衍等王。至今不絕　城南尼拘律樹塔。是佛初來見父王處　城南門外塔。是捔射處。東南三十餘里。是太子射矢沒地因涌泉流。俗傳箭泉病飲多愈。或持泥傅額隨苦皆愈。又東北九十里臘伐尼林。釋種浴池花水相映。其北二十五步無憂花樹。今已枯悴佛誕處也。有說云。當此三月八日者。上座部云。當此三月十五日者　次東有塔二龍浴太子處。初佛生已不扶而行四方各七步。所蹈之處出大蓮花。既右脇生天帝衣接。四王捧之置金几上。凡施四塔并立石柱表之。旁有小河東南而流。俗號油河。是太子產已。天化此池光潤令沐。以除風虛今變水河。尚膩如油。從此東行二百餘里。荒林中至。

Furthermore, in an old city more than thirty li to the northeast is a stūpa, being the native city of Kanakamuni Buddha when the human lifespan was forty thousand years. The stūpa to the northeast of the city is for the bodily relics of this Buddha; King Aśoka erected a stone pillar with an inscription to commemorate it, more than twenty feet high. More than forty li northeast of the city is the stūpa where the prince sat under a tree. Northwest of the great city are several hundred thousand stūpas, being the stūpas for the slaughtered Śākyas. There were four Śākyas who resisted the army; the people of the city did not tolerate them, so they were expelled beyond the borders. One became the king of Uḍḍiyāna, and three became kings of Bāmiyān and other realms, continuing unbroken down to the present day. South of the city, the nyagrodha-tree stūpa is where the Buddha first came to see his royal father. The stūpa outside the southern city gate is where they competed in archery. More than thirty li to the southeast is where the prince shot an arrow that sank into the ground, whereupon a spring gushed forth; popular tradition calls it the Arrow Spring, and when the sick drink from it, many are cured, or if one takes mud and applies it to the forehead, whatever pain one has is cured. Furthermore, ninety li to the northeast is the Lumbinī Grove, where the bathing pool of the Śākyas reflects flowers and water. Twenty-five paces north of it is the aśoka tree, now withered and decayed, where the Buddha was born. Some say this took place on the eighth day of the third month, while the Sthaviranikāya says on the fifteenth day of the third month. Next to the east is a stūpa where the two dragons bathed the prince. When the Buddha was first born, without being supported he walked seven steps in each of the four directions, and wherever he stepped, large lotus flowers sprang up. After he was born from the right flank, Śakra received him with a robe, and the Four Heavenly Kings held him up and placed him on a golden table. In total, four stūpas were established and stone pillars erected to mark them. Nearby is a small river flowing southeast, popularly known as the Oil River; after the prince was born, the devas magically created this pond, lustrous and glossy, for him to bathe in to eliminate wind and weakness; it has now turned into a water river, but is still as oily as fat. Traveling east from here through a desolate forest for more than two hundred li, one reaches
