In a single day and night, he built eighty-four thousand jewelled stūpas for the Buddha's bones throughout the world, all of which welled up from the earth." According to the Jin śramaṇa Zhu Huida: of the two stūpas in the east, one is here, and one is in Pengcheng. Today, Changgan in Moling is yet another one, which makes three. Now, examining the evidence, one stūpa was built for every hundred million households, so in calculating this for the Eastern Xia, in principle there is little doubt. Moreover, seeing that Yangyue alone has two stūpas, when broadly overseeing the nine regions, some were certainly concealed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 38.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.40) - [Next: 38.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.42) - [Up: 38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.38.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.41) · Pramāṇa
