In a wood to the east of the Muchilinda Tank was a temple with an image of the Buddha in an emaciated condition; near it was his exercise ground with a peepul at its north and south ends. Educated and common people now as formerly when attacked by a malady smear the image with fragrant oil and, in many cases, cures are effected. It was here the P'usa went through a course of austerities. Julai in order to subdue the other systems also accepted Māra's invitation and went through austerities for six years: his daily allowance here was one grain of hemp or wheat, and he became wasted and emaciated; it was here that when walking up and down he raised himself by the help of a tree. - [Previous: v2.c19.151](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.151) - [Next: v2.c19.153](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.153) - [Up: v2.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.152](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.152) · Pramāṇa
