6.23.1
Jhāyamānassa kho pana bhagavato sarīrassa yaṃ ahosi chavīti vā cammanti vā maṃsanti vā nhārūti vā lasikāti vā, tassa neva chārikā paññāyittha, na masi;
And when the Buddha’s corpse was cremated no ash or soot was found from outer or inner skin, flesh, sinews, or synovial fluid.

sarīrāneva avasissiṃsu.
Only the relics remained.
6.23.3
Seyyathāpi nāma sappissa vā telassa vā jhāyamānassa neva chārikā paññāyati, na masi;
It’s like when ghee or oil blaze and burn, and neither ashes nor soot are found.

evameva bhagavato sarīrassa jhāyamānassa yaṃ ahosi chavīti vā cammanti vā maṃsanti vā nhārūti vā lasikāti vā, tassa neva chārikā paññāyittha, na masi;
In the same way, when the Buddha’s corpse was cremated no ash or soot was found from outer or inner skin, flesh, sinews, or synovial fluid.

Tesañca pañcannaṃ dussayugasatānaṃ dveva dussāni na ḍayhiṃsu yañca sabbaabbhantarimaṃ yañca bāhiraṃ.
And of those five hundred pairs of garments only two were not burnt: the innermost and the outermost.
6.23.7
Daḍḍhe ca kho pana bhagavato sarīre antalikkhā udakadhārā pātubhavitvā bhagavato citakaṃ nibbāpesi.
But when the Buddha’s corpse was consumed the funeral pyre was extinguished by a stream of water that appeared in the sky,
6.23.8
Udakasālatopi abbhunnamitvā bhagavato citakaṃ nibbāpesi.
by water dripping from the sal trees,
6.23.9
Kosinārakāpi mallā sabbagandhodakena bhagavato citakaṃ nibbāpesuṃ.
and by the Mallas’ fragrant water.
6.23.10
Atha kho kosinārakā mallā bhagavato sarīrāni sattāhaṃ sandhāgāre sattipañjaraṃ karitvā dhanupākāraṃ parikkhipāpetvā naccehi gītehi vāditehi mālehi gandhehi sakkariṃsu garuṃ kariṃsu mānesuṃ pūjesuṃ.
Then the Mallas made a cage of spears for the Buddha’s relics in the town hall and surrounded it with a buttress of bows. For seven days they honored, respected, revered, and venerated them with dance and song and music and garlands and fragrances.
