paid all sorts of respects to the relics of Chomdandas, and in honour of them established 

 a great festival. 



Afterwards a young Brahman called Nyagrodha, requested the Champions of Kusha that 

 they would cede him the ashes or coals of the fire in which the dead body of Chomdandas was 

 burned. Having obtained his request, he built in the village of Nya-grodha-icnes a CJiaitya called 

 that of the Coals ; and paying all sorts of reverence and worship to them, he established a great 

 festival in honour of them.

 eight were styled those of the remains of his body ; one that of the Urn or Vessel, and one that of 

 the Coals. 



The four eye teeth of Chomdandas were thus divided : ■ One was taken up into the Traya- 

 strinsha heaven of the gods. The 2d was deposited in " Yid-du-hong-vd " (the delightful town.) 

 The 3d is in the Country of the King of Kalingha, The fourth is worshipped by a Nagaraja in 

 the City of Sgra-sgrogs. 



The King " Mya-nan-met," (S. Ashoka), residing at Pataliputra, has much increased 

 the number of Chaityas of the seven kinds. 



Leaf 652. Chomdandas (Shakya) was born at Kapila, In Magadhahe arrived at the 

 supreme perfection (or became Buddha). At Kdshi he turned the wheel of the Law (or promul- 

 gated his doctrine). At Kusha he was delivered from pain. 



Leaf 653. In this is related how, after the death of Shakya, Hot-srung-chaen-po

 and Mdtri Abhidherma, Prajnyd pdramitd.)
