Outside the north gate there is a stūpa, the place where the Buddha extended his hand and manifested five lions to subdue Devadatta's drunken elephant. Further to the northeast is a stūpa, the place where Śāriputra heard the monk Aśvajit explain the Dharma and attained sainthood. Beside the stūpa, next to a large pit north of it, is the place where Śrīgupta set up a fire-pit to harm the Buddha. Further east one reaches Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (in Chinese this means "Vulture Peak" or "Vulture Terrace"; formerly translated as Mount Qishegu). Beside it is a large rock, fourteen or fifteen zhang high and over thirty paces wide, which is the place where Devadatta hurled \[a stone at\] the Buddha. Below its southern cliff there is a stūpa, the place where the Buddha preached the Lotus Sūtra. On the southern mountain cliff there is a large rock chamber where the Buddha formerly entered samādhi. Ānanda, terrified by Māra in a separate chamber, was comforted by \[the Buddha\] passing his hand through the rock to stroke his crown; the through-hole still exists. Northeast of the vihāra, a large rock is the place where the Buddha dried his robes; the cloth patterns are clear and distinct, and beside the rock are the Buddha's footprints. To the west of the north gate of the mountain city is Mount Vipula. Formerly, on its southwest cliff there were five hundred hot springs, and even now dozens of springs remain. To the west is the Pippala rock chamber, where the Buddha formerly often resided; the cavern in the rear wall is an Asura palace. One li outside the mountain gate, one arrives at the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove Vihāra. To the east is a great stūpa, which is \[built by\] Ajātasattu (in the Tang language, "unborn enemy"), that is, King Ajātaśatru. About six li southwest of the Bamboo Grove, in the great bamboo grove on the shady southern slope of the mountain, there is a large rock chamber; this is the place where Mahākāśyapa and a thousand arhats compiled the tripiṭaka. The elder among the saṃgha was accordingly designated as the Sthavira school (Theravāda). Northwest of the chamber is a stūpa, the place where Ānanda was rebuked and realized fruition. About five li north of the mountain city, one reaches Rājagṛha, called in the Tang language "New Rājagṛha". The stūpa to the left of the road outside the south gate is the place where Rāhula was converted. Further north for over thirty li, one arrives at the Nālandā Monastery (in the Tang language, "Monastery of Giving Without Weariness"). Among the monasteries in Jambudvīpa, it is supreme; none is higher than this. Five kings jointly built it, and provisions were multiplied; hence it was named so. The monastery has five courtyards sharing one main gate. The surrounding wall has four tiers, about eighty feet high, all built of brick. Even the lowest wall is six feet thick. The outer curtain consists of three tiers of walls, also built of brick, about fifty feet high. In between, very deep moats encircle each tier, fully stocked with flowers and fragrances, solemn and magnificent to behold. Ever since its establishment, defense and discipline have been pure and strict; women's impurity and disorder have never been tolerated. The resident monks number over four thousand, and outside visitors, both religious and secular, including both the heterodox and the orthodox, exceed ten thousand. All are provided with food and clothing without exhaustion; hence it is also called "Giving Without Weariness". The sacred traces in the center and on the sides are too numerous to record exhaustively. There are masters of treatises of clear and far-reaching wisdom, to whom the king granted fiefs of up to ten cities; the gradually decreasing rewards were not less than three cities. Currently in this monastery, there are over three hundred venerable ones who have received fiefs. Those who are versed in the scriptures and above do not manage monastery labor; scholarship is deeply valued, and unusual teachings are inquired into. Therefore, from Wuji westwards extending across the lands within the seas, those who leave home mostly engage in doctrinal studies. They follow masters from any country without hindrance; although kings govern their states, they dare not obstruct them. Traveling east into the mountains for over two hundred li, one reaches the country of Īraṇaparvata. One sees the Buddha's sitting-footprints, sinking about an inch into the rock, five feet two inches long and two feet one inch wide. There are vase-marks sunken about an inch into the rock, with eight-petaled flower patterns looking completely newly set. There are also the Buddha's standing-footprints, a little over one foot eight inches long and about six inches wide. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 29.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29.46) - [Next: 29.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29.48) - [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.29.47) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [釋迦方志](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088.2.21) — 道宣, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.29.47) · Pramāṇa
