To the south of this saṅghārāma, there is a pond in an āmra grove where a nāga named Nālandā resides; the saṅghārāma was built beside it and took its name from it. According to the true facts, when the Tathāgata in the past practiced the bodhisattva path, he was a great king who established his capital here. Pitying sentient beings and delighting in providing for them generously, contemporaries praised his virtue and called him 'Giving without Satiety'." The Great Song \*Biographies of Eminent Monks\* states: "The Nālandā Monastery was forty-eight \*li\* in circumference, with nine temples and a single gate, built by nine kings. Among the saṅghārāmas of the Western Regions, none equaled its vastness!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7.10) - [Next: 7.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7.12) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.7.11) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大唐大慈恩寺三藏法師傳](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2053.3.23) — 慧立 & 彥悰, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7.11) · Pramāṇa
