It was originally in the Abhayuttara-vihāra, and Buddhadāsa placed a Nāga-gem as one of its eyes¹; but this was lost, and then Dhātusena had a pair of costly eyes made.² It was referred to under various names: Silāsatthā, Silāmayamuninda, Kālaselasatthā, etc. Sena II. found the temple containing the image in ruins and had it repaired,³ while his queen Saṅghā placed on the image a dark blue diadem.⁴ - [Previous: v2.c36.2950](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2950) - [Next: v2.c36.2952](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2952) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2951](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2951) · Pramāṇa
