37.23

又十二因緣經云。有八人得起塔。一如來。二菩薩。三緣覺。四羅漢。五那含。六斯陀含。七須陀洹。八輪王。若輪王已下起塔安一露槃。見之不得禮。以非聖塔故。初果二露槃。乃至如來安八露槃。八槃已上並是佛塔。

Furthermore, the Dvādaśanidāna-sūtra states: There are eight kinds of persons who may have a stupa erected: first, Tathāgatas; second, bodhisattvas; third, pratyekabuddhas; fourth, arhats; fifth, anāgāmins; sixth, sakṛdāgāmins; seventh, srotāpannas; eighth, cakravartins. If a stupa is erected for a cakravartin or below, one dew-basin is installed; upon seeing it, one must not bow to it, because it is not the stupa of a noble one. For those of the first fruition, two dew-basins; and so on up to the Tathāgata, for whom eight dew-basins are installed. Those with eight basins or more are all Buddha stupas.
