The Sixth Chapter for Recitation - 243 Kusinārāyaṁ Bhagavato sarīrānaṁ Thūpañ-ca mahañ-ca akaṁsu. made a Shrine for the Gracious One’s bodily relics at Kusinārā and held a festival. Doṇo pi brāhmaṇo Doṇa the brahmin Tumbassa Thūpañ-ca mahañ-ca akāsi. made a Shrine for the urn and held a festival. Pipphalivaniyā pi Moriyā The Moriyās of Pepper Wood Pipphalivane aṅgārānaṁ Thūpañ-ca mahañ-ca akaṁsu. made a Shrine for the ashes at Pepper Wood and held a festival. Iti aṭṭha sarīratthūpā navamo Tumbathūpo dasamo Aṅgārathūpo, Thus there were eight Shrines for the bodily relics, the Urn Shrine was the ninth, and the Ashes Shrine was the tenth,

The King of the Dragons honours in Rāmagāma. Ekā hi dāṭhā Tidivehi pūjitā, 275 One tooth is worshipped in the Heavens, Ekā pana Gandhārapure mahīyati, And one is honoured in the city of Gandhāra, Kāliṅgarañño vijite punekaṁ, A further one in the realm of the Kaliṅga King, Ekaṁ puna Nāgarājā maheti. And the King of the Dragons honours one more. 273 The Commentary says these words were added at the 3rd Council. It also tells how Ven. Mahākassapa later collected most of the relics together again and that King Ajātasattu built a shrine for them. This was rediscovered by King Asoka who had them enshrined in the 84,000 monasteries he built throughout Jambudīpa. The story is obviously told to try to reconcile the two traditions. 274 The following verses, which the Commentary says were added in Tambapaṇṇi (Śri Laṅkā), also record the growing dispersion of the relics. They should be compared with the even more advanced last chapter of Buddhavaṁsa, one of whose verses is quoted verbatim below and another of which seems to be paraphrased. 275 Compare this verse with Buddhavaṁsa 29.6: Ekā dāṭhā Tidasapure, ekā Nāgapure ahu, ekā Gandhāravisaye, ekā Kaliṅgarājino.
