On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c18.27

v2.c18.27

To the west of the Maitreya-Prediction Tope, Yuan-chuang continues, was a tope at the place where Sakya P‘usa (that is, the P‘usa) as Hu-ming (護明) P‘usa received from Kaśyapa Buddha the prophecy of his future attainment of Buddhahood with the name Sakyamuni. Near this tope was an artificial platform of dark-blue stone, above 50 paces long by seven feet high, which had been a walking-place of the Four Past Buddhas. On this was a standing image of the Ju-lai, grand and majestic, with long hair from the top of the head (from the uṣṇīṣa), of noted and conspicuous miraculous powers.
