The Discourse about the Great Emancipation

The Sixth Chapter for Recitation
(There were) eight measures of the Visionary's relics, 201
Seven measures are honoured in Jambudīpa,
One measure of the most Noble Man
The King of the Dragons honours in Rāmagāma.
One tooth is worshipped in the Heavens,
And one is honoured in the city of Gandhāra,
A further one in the realm of the Kaliṅga King,
And the King of the Dragons honours one more.
Through the power (of these relics) this Lovely Earth
Is decorated like a most excellent hall.
Thus this body of the Visionary One,
(Is) well esteemed by those who respect the respectable.
Honoured by Lords of Divinities, Lords of Dragons, and Kings,
(The relics are) honoured by true Lords of Men,
Worship those (relics) after holding up your hands,
A Buddha is rare even in a hundred aeons.
201 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.
