The vihara stands in a square of thirty paces, and though heaven should shake and earth be rent, this place would not move.
Going on, north from this, for a yojana, (Fa-Hsien) arrived at the capital of Nagara, the place where the Bodhisattva once purchased with money five stalks of flowers, as an offering to the Dipankara Buddha.( 9) In the midst of the city there is also the tope of Buddha's tooth, where offerings are made in the same way as to the flat-bone of his skull.
A yojana to the north-east of the city brought him to the mouth of a valley, where there is Buddha's pewter staff;( 10) and a vihara also has been built at which offerings are made.

The staff is made of Gosirsha Chandana, and is quite sixteen or seventeen cubits long.

It is contained in a wooden tube, and though a hundred or a thousand men ere to (try to) lift it, they could not move it.
Entering the mouth of the valley, and going west, he found Buddha's Sanghali,( 11) where also there is reared a vihara, and offerings are made.

It is a custom of the country when there is a great drought, for the people to collect in crowds, bring out the robe, pay worship to it, and make offerings, on which there is immediately a great rain from the sky.
South of the city, half a yojana, there is a rock-cavern, in a great hill fronting the south-west; and here it was that Buddha left his shadow.

Looking at it from a distance of more than ten paces, you seem to see Buddha's real form, with his complexion of gold, and his characteristic marks( 12) in their nicety clearly and brightly displayed.
