### [40.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.40.79)

高麗百濟新羅三國使者將還。各請一舍利於本國起塔供養。詔並許之。詔於京師大興善寺起塔。先置舍利於尚書都堂。十二月二日旦發焉。是時天色澂明氣和風靜。寶輿幡幢香華音樂。種種供養彌遍街衢。道俗士庶不知幾千萬億。服章行位從容有敘。上柱國司空公安德王雄以下皆步從至寺。設無遮大會而禮懺焉。有青雀狎於眾內。或抽佩刀擲以布施。當人叢而下都無所傷。

> The envoys from the three kingdoms of Koguryŏ, Paekche, and Silla were about to return, and each requested one śarīra to erect a pagoda and make offerings in their own country; an edict granted all of them. An edict ordered that a pagoda be erected at Daxingshan Temple in the capital. The śarīra was first placed in the Department of State Affairs. At dawn on the second day of the twelfth month, it departed from there. At this time the sky was clear and bright, the weather mild and the wind still. Jeweled carriages, banners, pennants, incense, flowers, and music—all sorts of offerings filled the streets. The monastics and laypeople, gentlemen and commoners, numbered countless millions. In their vestments and orderly ranks, they proceeded with dignified composure. From the Grand Pillar of State and Minister of Works, Yang Xiong, Prince of Ande, on down, all followed on foot to the temple, where they held a great unrestricted assembly (pañcapariṣad) and performed prostrations and repentance. A blue bird mingled tamely among the crowd. Some drew their ornamental daggers and cast them as donations, falling into the dense crowd without harming anyone at all.
