On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c18.s2.9

v2.c18.s2.9

The last clause of our text mentions the offering of sun-shades. It is in the introduction which forms the first chapter of the Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa-sūtra that the story is told of the 500 young Licchavis, including Pao-chi, offering their sun-shades to the Buddha in the Āmra orchard. The presentation of these gifts was immediately followed by a great miracle wrought by the Buddha which astonished and ravished all beholders. Julien suggests Ratnākara as the Sanskrit original for Pao-chi (寶積) or "Gem-heap", and the restoration is probably correct. The first translation, which transcribes the name as Lo-li-na-ka, perhaps for Ratnākara, translates it by Pao-shih (寶事) or "Gem-business", and Yuan-chuang in his version has Pao-hsing (寶性) or "Gem-nature" perhaps for Ratnākara. In using Pao-chi in the text here the pilgrim adopts Kumārajīva's rendering, which remains the popular one.
