On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c15.111

v1.c15.111

Fa-hsien, who places Kāśyapa Buddha’s natal city 50 *li* to the west of Śrāvastī, calls the city *Tu-wei* (都維). These characters probably represent a sound like Topi, and the city is perhaps that called *Tu-yi* in a Vinaya treatise.² Fa-hsien also mentions topes at the places where Kāśyapa Buddha met his father, where he died, and where his body was preserved, but he does not ascribe any of these topes to Aśoka. Hardy’s authority makes Benares to have been the city of this Buddha and this agrees with several sūtras in Chinese translations. In a Vinaya treatise Benares is the city, and the king *Ki-li-ki* (吉利基) erects a grand tope at the place of Kassapa Buddha’s cremation.³
