6.16

佛久遊諸國。長者須達思戀渴仰。白佛言。願留少物常得供養。佛與髮爪。願聽起塔。佛乃許之。於舍衛國造作欒栱。彩畫莊嚴(出十誦律善誦第一卷)。

The Buddha had long been traveling through various kingdoms. The elder Sudatta longed for him thirstily, and said to the Buddha: 'May you leave behind a small object so that I may constantly make offerings to it.' The Buddha gave him hair and nails. [Sudatta] requested permission to build a stūpa, and the Buddha consented. In the city of Śrāvastī, he constructed brackets and pillars, embellishing them with painted ornamentation.
