Then 艢un膩s墨ra instructed the 膧产丑颈测辞驳颈办补-gods promptly in regard to bringing the materials for the cremation of the Master鈥檚 body. Then at the command of Sa峁�-krandana the gods brought instantly from the garden Nandana go艣墨r峁�a-sandal as fuel. At Indra鈥檚 command they made a round funeral pyre of go艣墨r峁�a-sandal in the east for the Master鈥檚 body. Likewise the gods made a triangular pyre in the south for the great rishis of the Ik峁�v膩ku family. For the other ascetics the gods made a rectangular pyre in the west. Then 痴腻蝉补惫补 had water brought at once from the Ocean of Milk by the gods like Pu峁�kar膩vartaka clouds. Vajrabh峁泃 bathed the Blessed One鈥檚 body with that water, and anointed it with go艣墨r峁�a-sandal paste. 痴腻蝉补惫补 clothed the Supreme Lord鈥檚 body with a garment of fine cloth with a ha峁僺a-pattern. The Chief of the gods fully adorned the Supreme Lord鈥檚 body with divine jeweled ornaments.

Other gods did at once all that鈥攖he bathing, etc., for the other munis, with devotion, just as Indra had done. The gods made three litters to be carried by a thousand, each one from the best jewels of the three worlds that had been brought here. After he had bowed at the Lord鈥檚 feet and had placed his body on his head, Purandara himself put it in the litter. The gods put the bodies of the members of the Ik峁�v膩ku-family who had gone to 尘辞办峁�a on the second litter. On the third litter, the gods put the bodies of the other munis, placing them on their own heads. Then Hari himself lifted up the Master鈥檚 litter, and the other gods the litters of the other munis. While some Apsarases were making a circular dance with hand-dapping in one place, and others making a sweet-sounding concert in another; some gods placing jars of incense in front which poured forth tears of grief, as it were, in the guise of the smoke from the incense; some throwing wreaths of flowers on the litters, others taking the same ones as remains of a sacrifice; some making festoons of fine cloth; some sprinkling 测补办峁�a办补谤诲补尘补-ointment ahead; some rolling in front like balls of stone dropped by a machine; others running behind as if injured by the powder of delusion; some crying aloud, 鈥淥 Lord, O Lord鈥�; some blaming themselves, 鈥淲e unfortunate are lost鈥�; some begging frequently, 鈥淕ive us instruction, O Lord鈥�; others saying, 鈥淲ho will solve our doubts about dharma?鈥� some saying regretfully, 鈥淲here shall we go now like blind people?鈥� some longing, 鈥淢ay the earth give us a chasm鈥�; Hari carried the Master鈥檚 litter to the funeral pyre, and the other gods the other two litters to the accompaniment of musical instruments. Pr膩c墨nabarhis slowly placed the Master鈥檚 body on the eastern funeral pyre, knowing what was proper, as if he were his son. The gods,^[1] like blood-relations, placed the bodies of the Ik峁�v膩ku-family on the southern pyre; and the other gods knowing what was proper placed those of the other ascetics on the west pyre.

Then at the command of Gotrabhid the Agnikum膩rika-gods created fire-bodies on the pyres. At 艢akra鈥檚 command, the 痴腻测耻办耻尘腻谤补蝉 created winds, and they quickly made the fire flame up on all sides. At Indra鈥檚 command the gods put camphor, etc., by loads, and ghee, honey, etc., by pitcherfuls on the pyres. When the elements, except the bones, had been consumed, the Meghakum膩ras extinguished the fire of the pyres with water. Purandara took the Lord鈥檚 right upper molar tooth to his palace to worship like a statue. 莫艣膩na took the left upper molar tooth, and Camarendra the lower right. Bali took the lower left; the other Indras the rest of the teeth, and the other gods the bones. The laymen, begging for the fire of the three pits, received it from the gods. From that time the Br膩hmans^[2] became fire-priests. For they constantly worshipped in their houses the fire from the Master鈥檚 pyre; and they guard it unextinguished like princes a lac of lamps.^[3] With the fire from the Master鈥檚 pyre, they restore the extinct fires of the pyres of the Ik峁�v膩ku and other ascetics. With the fire from the pyre of the Ik峁�v膩ku Rishis, they revived the extinct fire of the pyre of the other ascetics. But they do not transfer the fire from the pyre of the other ascetics to the fire from the other two pyres. Even today that is the rule among the Br膩hmans. Some took ashes and devotedly worshipped the ashes. From that time there have been ascetics decorated with ashes. In the places of the three pyres the gods made three jeweled 蝉迟奴辫补蝉 that were like three new peaks of Mt. 础峁ａ弓腻辫补诲补. Then in the continent 狈补苍诲墨艣惫补谤补 the gods and Indras made a festival to the eternal images, and departed each to his own abode. The Indras鈥攊n their own separate palaces and in their assembly-hall, 厂耻诲丑补谤尘腻鈥攑ut the Master鈥檚 teeth in round diamond boxes on top of M膩峁嘺va-pillars^[4] and worshipped them constantly. By their power they (the Indras) always had victory and happiness.
