The capital is desolate and ruined. On the eastern foundation of the old palace is a small stūpa, the place where King Prasenajit (formerly called Bosini, translated into Tang as Shengjun, ‘Conquering Army’) built a vihāra for bhikṣuṇīs. The stūpa next to it to the east is the former residence of Sudatta (translated in the Tang as Shanshi, ‘Virtuous Giver’). Beside it is a great stūpa, which is the spot where Aṅgulimāla (translated in the Tang as Zhiman, ‘Finger Garland’) renounced the world. About six li south of the city is the Jetavana, the monastery built by the Crown Prince \[Jeta\] and Anāthapiṇḍada. Now it is desolate and abandoned, but there is still a stone pillar more than seventy feet high, erected by King Aśoka. A single brick chamber remains, while the rest are all destroyed and buried. In the chamber is a golden image \[depicting the Buddha\] preaching the Dharma for his mother. To the northeast is the stūpa where the Buddha washed a sick monk; to the northwest is the stūpa where Maudgalyāyana tried to lift Śāriputra’s robe. Not far away is a well stūpa, where the Buddha drew water. There are also the places where Śāriputra walked together with the Buddha and where the Buddha preached the Dharma, each marked by memorial stūpas; miraculous music and wondrous fragrance constantly descend upon these spots. There is also a stūpa marking the place where non-Buddhists killed a woman to slander the Buddha with illicit relations. More than a hundred paces east of the monastery is a great, deep pit, where Devadatta, having placed poison to harm the Buddha, sank alive into the earth. Further south is a great pit, where the monk Kokālika, having defamed the Buddha, sank alive into the earth. Further south by eight hundred paces is a great, deep pit, where the Brahman woman Ciñcā, having slandered the Buddha, sank alive into the earth. These three great pits are all profoundly deep, bottomless abysses; even when deluge and heavy rain pour down, the water never remains. Seventy paces east of the monastery is a vihāra called ‘Covering Shadow’, sixty feet high, inside of which is an eastward-facing seated statue marking the place where \[the Buddha\] debated with non-Buddhists. Next to it on the east is a heavenly temple of the same size as the vihāra; when the morning sun casts shadows westward, it does not obscure the Buddha's shrine, but when the evening sun casts shadows eastward, it completely covers the heavenly temple. Further east by four li is a large dried pond, the place where King Viḍūḍabha (formerly called King Liuli) sank into the earth; later generations set up a marker here. There is also a stūpa marking the place where Śāriputra, when first constructing the monastery, contested with non-Buddhists. Four li northwest of the monastery is the Forest of Recovered Sight (Andhavana), where there is a stūpa of the Buddha's walking promenade; its origin is that King Prasenajit gouged out the eyes of five hundred bandits, who, upon hearing the power of the Buddha's compassion, were instantly restored; their cast-away walking sticks then sprouted and grew. Sixty li northwest of the city is an old city, the birthplace of Kāśyapa Buddha when the human lifespan was twenty thousand years. To its north is the place of the complete-body relics of this Buddha, where King Aśoka built a stūpa to mark the site. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 29.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29.27) - [Next: 29.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29.29) - [Up: 29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.29.28) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [釋迦方志](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088.1.79) — 道宣, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29.28) · Pramāṇa
