Makutabandhana Stupa II


After the cremation, the relics were divided into eight equal portions by the brahmin Dona, who distributed them to eight clans, namely:
- King Ajatasattu of Magadha,
- the Licchavis of Vesali,
- the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu,
- the Bulians of Allakappa,
- the Koliyans of Ramagama,
- the brahman of Vethadipa,
- the Mallas of Pava,
- the Mallas of Kushinagar,
And I'm not sure the relics of Golden mount in Thailand which the King RamaIV got from India, is from Kapilavatthu stupa or another place...I will check it later...
