  About The Book -: 1904 Excerpt: .the ushnlsha," that is, manifested occasionally as a miraculous phenomenon. It is also stated that the ushnlsha is not visible to the eyes of ordinary beings.4 Nearly two hundred years before Yuan-chuang`s time a Chinese pilgrim by name Chih-meng had seen, it is recorded, the Ushnlsha-bone along with other relics of the Buddha in Kapilavastu, but this must be regarded as a mistake of a copyist.5 Two later pilgrims Tao-lin and Hsiian-chao, the latter a contemporary of Yuanchuang, visited Kapis and there paid reverence to the ushnlsha or skull-top bone of the Buddha.6 By Kapis we are probably to understand Nagar then a part of the Kapis kingdom. Then a century after Yuan-chuang`s time Wu-h`ung went to see "Sakya Juki`s skull-top bone (or Ushnlsha) relic" in the city of Gandhara. It is interesting to observe that we do not find mention of any Buddhist monks as being concerned in any way with this precious relic. Fa-hsien, indeed, places it in a ching-she or temple, but this was apparently only the name which he gave to the building because it contained the relic.
