He bowed his head in veneration and requested to provide for him long-term. Having grown weary of worldly suffering and taking no pleasure in the human realm, the brother vowed to rely on the forests and wilderness to nourish his remaining life. King Aśoka then had spirits and deities construct mountains and waters within his own city. The mountain was several tens of fathoms high, cutting off people so they could not come and go. In accordance with the king's decree, he collected donated clothing and resources to make a stone statue sixteen feet high, providing offerings to his brother right within the mountain niche and stone chamber. This mountain and statue both still exist today. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 84.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.84.10) - [Next: 84.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.84.12) - [Up: 84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.84) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.84.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.84.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.84.11) · Pramāṇa
