This glorious Island of Lanka was the residence of Yakshas during the non- Buddhistic periods of the world, and men dwelt there only in the Buddhistic periods. By some of the Buddhas, at the very first attainment to perfection of wisdom, the Yakshas, were subdued, and the Island became the abode of men. There were other Buddhas who personally visited it, subdued the Yakshas, made it the abode of men, and established their religion there. Aud this Island of Lanka is like the Buddhas’ own treasury of the three Gems, as it is certain that the southern brauches of the sacred trees, and the doctrines, the relics, aud the religion of infinite and innumerable Buddhas, are established here. 2. The residence therefore of false religionists in this Island of Lanka is certainly as unstable as that of the former Yakshas was unstable. Although, occasionally, a king of a false religion may usurp the sovereignty of the Island of Lanka, and reign over it, yet it is the authoritative mandate of the Buddhas, that the dynasty of such kings should never be permanent. 3. As this Island, therefore, is suitable only to the kings of the true religion, the permanence of the hereditary succession of their dynasty is sure. For such reasons as these, the kings reigning over Lanka should be assiduous in upholding the religion with that great love and veneration which is natural towards Buddha, and ought to preserve the heritage of their dynasty by keeping the influence of their jurisdiction aDd that of the religion. 2 4. Leaving aside the periods of other Buddhas of former times, this Island was called O'jadwipa at the time of the Kakusanda Buddha, who in this Kalpa first attained to the perfection of wisdom. Anuradhapura was then called Abhayapura ; the king thereof was named Abliaya. 1 he present grove Maha-mewuna had the name of Maha-tirtha-wana ; the cily was on the east of this grove. The name of Piyalkulu, or the Mihintala rock, was Dewakuta. 5. At that time a pestilential disease of fever struck such cities as Abhayapura, over all this Island, abounding with large popu- lation and great wealth and riches ; and when a great affliction of the people prevailed, such as was in the city of Wisala at the time of our Buddha, people began to die. And the Yakshas, being unable on account of the influence of Buddha, to enter the Ldand, stood circum-ambulating round it, scattered over the sea, erecting themselves up, and observing the smell of the human carcasses. 6. At that time Kakusanda Buddha, knowing the exceeding unhappy state of the inhabitants of this Island, O'jadwipa, and being impelled by great compassion towards them, repaired thither in an instant through the air, accompanied by a retinue of about 40,000 holy priests, and descended upon Dewakuta (Mihintala), and stood there like the moon attended by stars ; he illuminated the ten directions with his beams of six colours, and determined with his supernatural influence : “ Let all the men of this Island of O'jadwipa see me, and as soon as they see me let all their diseases vanish, and, being sound in health, let them all come in an instant and stand round me.” 7. And at an instant, simultaneously with the thought of that determination, all the inhabitants of the Island saw Buddha like those who see the moon in the sky. And the epidemic of fever vanished, and they all, like those who had received ambrosial water, every man sprang from the place where he had been lying, collected themselves round the rock, as those who collect themselves into a hall in the midst of a town. 8. At this moment the kings, sub-kings, and great ministers worshipped, and invited him into the grove Maha-tirtha-wana (Maha-mewuna), and conducted him thither in great pomp, and 3 complete'! for him a beautiful temporary court, an 18 acclamations of joy, and filling all the points of the compass with the noise of excessive singing, intoxicated by the sports of sadhu. Thus the bands of gods proceeded through the air, together with the company of the disciples, Buddha being at their head, a3 if the rocks of Meru and Yagundara had landed ou the shore of the great ocean, and bent their course towards the peak of Samanala. 56. And in this way, while the sound adviser of all the sentient beings, the sovereign of the world, the lord of the biped races, had ascended the aerial path, and was proceed'ng, the orb of the sun made the clusters of his beams as soft as the light of the moon, and stood in the sky like a white umbrella held over his head for the purpose of preventing the heat, then gentle drops of rain began to fall slowly like a sprinkling of water upon an altar of flowers that had been elevated to the clouded sky. And gentle breezes mixed with perfumes began to blow from various directions, to cool the whole universe like one orb of odour. 57. Thus Buddha suffering the pomps of the immense offerings which the gods performed, by presenting various miracles in the whole firmament, filled the entire universe with the clusters of Buddha’s deiTse beams of six colours, namely blue, yellow, scarlet, white, red and variegated, arrived at the summit of the peak Samantakuta, and stood with his face towards the west, attended by five hundred disciples, like the orb of the rising sun enveloped in a collection of the lustre of Buddha’s beams which had come over the top of the eastern rock, and which had looked towards the way of the interval of the western ocean ; and Buddha, at the prayer of the great Sumana, the noble king of the gods, clearly impressed upon the summit of tho Samantakuta mountain, his soft and ruddy pink-coloured left foot, with nil its beauties, which in length is about three inches less than two carpenter's cubits, endowed with a hundred and eight auspicious signs. 58. So he properly gratified the noble god Maha Snmnnn, together withinnumerablesentientheings such as Brahmasand gods, and set his glorious foot ns a seal that is improssod, purporting that tho Island of Lanka was his own treasury, full of the threo gems. At that moment, at tho festival of the uoble peaked mountain 19 Samanala, the rocks, trees, rivers, cataracts, pools, brooks, earth, sea, and sky, like an army attendant upon it, clothed themselves with tho unfolded garments of various hues of the six coloured rays of Bud- dha’s beams, anointed with the ointment of the pouring of flowers of divine fragrance, adorned themselves with the jewellery of tho showers of divine gems, decorated themselves with garlands of flowers of fully expanded and unwonted blossoms, playing on the five kinds of musical instruments like the roaring of the sea, singing agreeably to the measurement of t tie hum of the bees, clapping their hands as with the clash of rain clouds, shouting with applause like the roaring of the earth ; and in the continual sprinkling of unusual rains they disported themselves among tho waters. 59. Then the Omniscient Buddha, attended by the train of the great priests, departed from that place, and rested during the heat of the day in the cave of Bhagawa-lene on the side of that peak of Samanala, making it also a paribliogika memorial, and proceeding from that place went to the district of Iiuliunn, and entered with his train into tho state of sarnapatti, on the site where tho monument of Dighanakha was to be erected, and rested there for a moment. 60. Having rested in this way for a moment’s time in the state of sarnapatti, together with his five hundred attendant sanctified priests, at tho site of Dighanakha, and having placed in that spot the deity Malniseaa as guardian, and thence like a Gurulu-raja atteuded by a multitude of Garundas, ascended the aerial path anl come to the city of Anuradhapura, he sat, by shaking the earth, on the site where the great glorious sacred bo-tree was to be placed in the midst of the grove Maha Meghawana, and on the site where Ratnamali monument was to be erected, and appointed there a deity of the name of Wisala as guardian, and he proceeded thence and rested, by shaking the earth as before, in the state of Nirodha sarnapatti, at the site where the Thuparama monument was to bo built; and having appointed in that place, as guardian, a god of the name of Prathuwimala, he proceeded thence and rested for a moment in the state of sarnapatti at the site of Mirisaweti Vihara attended by five hundred sanctified priests, inc'uding the eighty 20 dignified disciples; then he rose from the state of samapatti there, and preached his doctrines to an innumerable multitude of gods who had collected themselves together in that place, aud led them into the four rewards of the four paths, and commanded the god Indi a to guard that place, aud thus awakened the minds of the people. 61. I'rom that place he proceeded and rested a moment with his retinue at the site where Lowarnahapaya was to be erected, at the site where the house of Lahabat was to be erected, at the site where the pool Dantadhara was to be constructed, and at the site where Ruwanwelipayawas to be built; and he preached hisdoctrines to the assembled gods in these places, and distributed the four re- wards of the four supreme paths; from I hat place he proccedi d and sat upon that most delightful spot of ground on the summit of the rock of Mihiutala where Mahaselasaya was to be erected ; and he brought to his subjection those Gods, Brahmas, Xagas, Garundas, Siddhas, Widdhy ad haras, Rakshas, Gandbarwns, and others who were gathered near him, and he made them drink of the ambrosia of his doctrines, and straightened the path of the duration of San- sara, and displayed to them the happy way which speedily leads to the city of'Nirwana. 62. He went thence, together with five hundred sanctified priests, and entered the state of samapatti at the place where the venerable dagoba of Kataragama was to be built, and in that place also he caused the earth to shake, and for the future protection of that place he located the noble god Ghdsha, and departed thence and entered the state of JsiroJha samapatti as before, at the site where Tissa Mali a Wihara was to be erected, and caused the earth to shake as before, and he placed there for guarding it a god called Manibharaka. lie left that place and coming toNaga-Maha Viliara, entered the state of samapatti as before, and caused the earth to shake, and lie placed there for its protection a god named Mihiudn, and proceeded thence and entered the state of Nirdlha samu| at t i with the five hundred sanctified priests at a very delightful spot of grouud, near Seruwila on the soul hern lankt f the river Mulia- weli, and caused the great earth to shake, and rose from his seat. 63. Ihcn when the Nagat aja Surnana had plucked some flowers 21 from the champac tree which he had in his hands, and had gone to that place and offered them to Buddha and stood by him, he ordered that Nagaraja Sumana should reside there as the guardian god of that place, and then he gave his own protecting influence to the glorious Island of Lanka, and returned to Jambudwipa. 64. This is the third visit of our Buddha to the Island of Lanka. Thus all the fourteen places, at which he spent some time in moving about, by way of standing, or sitting, and so forth, in the three visits which the exalted sovereign of the wholesome doctrines paid to the Island of Lanka, are paribhogika memorials.
