He tells us that to the south-east of the “old city” was the “Ku-t'a-Saṅghārāma” according to the A, B, and D texts, but in C and in the “Fang-chih” it is “Ku-ku-t'a Saṅghārāma” (or Cock Monastery). This monastery, the pilgrim states, had been built by Asoka, but it was in ruins, the foundations alone remaining. After Asoka became a Buddhist he summoned an assembly of 1000 Buddhist monks, common monks and arhats, in this monastery and supplied them with the requisites of their order. - [Previous: v2.c19.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.33) - [Next: v2.c19.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.35) - [Up: v2.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.watters-1904.v2.c19.34) · Pramāṇa
