窣堵波 (The upper character is pronounced 蘇 + 骨 [*sū*]; the lower is 都 + 古 [*dǔ*]. This is also Sanskrit (*stūpa*), meaning a pagoda or tower. In old texts it was rendered 蘇偷婆 *sutoupo*, which was inaccurate. It refers to a brick stūpa containing the relics of the fragmented body of the Buddha. Older translations also called it 浮圖 *futu*).
