The narrative next tells us that 60 or 70 paces to the east of the Jetavana Monastery was a temple (ching-shê) above sixty feet high which contained a sitting image of the Buddha with his face to the east. At this place the Julai had held discussion with the Tirthikas (wai-tao). To the east of this ching-shê was a Deva-Temple of the same dimensions which was shut out from the western sun in the evening by the Buddhist temple, while the latter in the morning was not deprived of the rays of the sun by the Deva-Temple.
