[Footnote 57: IV. 3, 24. The first text is from Mahâparinibbâna Sutta, V. 24. The second has not been identified.] [Footnote 58: _Journal des Savants_, Oct. 1906.] [Footnote 59: See Norman, "Buddhist legends of Asoka and his times," in _J.A.S._ Beng. 1910.] [Footnote 60: Just as the Tooth was considered to be the palladium of Sinhalese kings.] [Footnote 61: Record of Buddhist kingdoms. Legge, pp. 34, 35. Fa-Hsien speaks of the country not the town of Peshawar (Purûshapura).] [Footnote 62: _Ibid._ p. 109. Fa-Hsien does not indicate that at this time there was a rival bowl in Ceylon but represents the preacher as saying it was then in Gandhara.] [Footnote 63: Watters, I. pp. 202, 203. But the life of Hsüan Chuang says Benares not Persia.] [Footnote 64: Marco Polo trans. Yule, II. pp. 320, 330.] [Footnote 65: For the history of the tooth see _Mahâvaṃsa_, p. 241, in Turnour's edition: the Dathavaṃsa in Pali written by Dhammakitti in 1211 A.D.: and the Sinhalese poems Daladapujavali and Dhatuvansaya. See also Da Cunha, _Memoir on the History of the Tooth Relic of Ceylon_, 1875, and Yule's notes on Marco Polo, II. pp. 328-330.] [Footnote 66: _I.e._ about 361 or 310, according to which chronology is adopted, but neither Fa-Hsien or Hsüan Chuang says anything about its arrival from India and this part of the story might be dismissed as a legend. But seeing how extraordinary were the adventures of the tooth in historical times, it would be unreasonable to deny that it may have been smuggled out of India for safety.] [Footnote 67: Various accounts are given of the disposal of these teeth, but more than enough relics were preserved in various shrines to account for all. Hsüan Chuang saw or heard of sacred teeth in Balkh, Nagar, Kashmir, Kanauj and Ceylon. Another tooth is said to be kept near Foo-chow.] [Footnote 68: Plausibly supposed to be Puri. The ceremonies still observed in the temple of Jagannath are suspected of being based on Buddhist rites. Dantapura of the Kâlingas is however mentioned in some verses quoted in Dîgha Nikâya XIX. 36. This looks as if the name might be pre-Buddhist.] [Footnote 69: They are called Ranmali and Danta in the Râjâvaliya.] [Footnote 70: There is a striking similarity between this rite and the ceremonies observed at Puri, where the images of Jagannâtha and his relatives are conveyed every summer with great pomp to a country residence where they remain during some weeks.] [Footnote 71: See Tennent's _Ceylon_, vol. II. pp. 29, 30 and 199 ff. and the Portuguese authorities quoted.] [Footnote 72: Fortune in _Two Visits to Tea Countries of China_, vol. II. pp. 107-8, describes one of these teeth preserved in the Ku-shan monastery near Foo-chow.]
