ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the English translations of Sanskrit text of the Buddha-karita that was published in the 'Anecdota Oxoniensia' and included in the series of 'Sacred Books of the East'. The Sacred Books of the East is an early Sanskrit poem written in India on the legendary history of Buddha, and therefore contains much that is of interest for the history of Buddhism, beside its special importance as illustrating the early history of classical Sanskrit literature. The prince, reached the city distinguished by the five hills, well guarded and adorned with mountains, and supported and hallowed by auspicious sacred places Tapoda is the name of a tirtha in Magadha. Some people reverenced him with their hands, others in worship saluted him with their heads, some addressed him with affectionate words. Those who were wearing gay-coloured dresses were ashamed when they saw him, those who were talking on random subjects fell to silence on the road.
