On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c19.107

v2.c19.107

The Temple here described represents the fourth of the Seven Places, and is the Ratanaghara cetiya or "Jewel-house chaitya" (the Yatanagara of the Burmese). It was built by the devas according to some authorities, and was to the north-west (or south-west) of the Bodhi Tree. This Ratanaghara, or "House of the seven precious substances" as Fa-hsien calls it, was used by the Buddha for seven of the 49 days he spent near the Bodhi Tree. In it he meditated on the way of salvation he had thought out, and on the doctrines in which it was to be embodied for future teaching.¹
