It has been stated above the Stūpa 1 did not yield any relics. But Stūpa 2 enshrined a relic-box with an inscription proclaiming that it contained the relics of many teachers. Inside the box were found small relic caskets [12.8] inscribed with the names of ten saints whose charred bones were enshrined within. Stūpa 3 had a relic chamber with two small boxes with the relics respectively of Śāriputra and Mahāmaudgalyāyana, two of the principal disciples of Buddha himself.
