[Footnote 65: For the history of the tooth see _Mahavamsa_, p. 241,
in Turnour's edition: the Dathavamsa in Pali written by Dhammakitti
in 1211 A.D.: and the Sinhalese poems Daladapujavali and Dhatuvansaya.

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 Hsuan 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. Hsuan 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 Kalingas is however mentioned in some
verses quoted in Digha Nikaya XIX. 36. This looks as if the name might
be pre-Buddhist.]

[Footnote 69: They are called Ranmali and Danta in the Rajavaliya.]

[Footnote 70: There is a striking similarity between this rite and the
ceremonies observed at Puri, where the images of Jagannatha and his
relatives are conveyed every summer with great pomp to a country
residence where they remain during some weeks.]

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.]

[Footnote 73: This practice must be very old. The Vinaya of the
Mulasarvastivadins and similar texts speak of offering flowers to a
tooth of the Buddha. See _J.A._ 1914, II. pp. 523, 543. The Pali Canon
too tells us that the relics of the Buddha were honoured with garlands
and perfumes.]

[Footnote 75: Both probably represent the tradition current at the
Mahavihara, but according to the Talaing tradition Buddhaghosa was a
Brahman born at Thaton.]
