There was room on the rock for one thousand monks. The hill stands about one mile to the south-west of Gayā and is now called Brahmayoni. To the south-east of the hill Hiouen Thsang saw the three thūpas of the Tebhātika Jaṭilā.⁵ See also Gayā Sutta. - [Previous: v1.c14.344](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.344) - [Next: v1.c14.346](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.346) - [Up: v1.c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.345](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.345) · Pramāṇa
