Gotama had a wide retrert on the Paripatra hills. Listen to me as to how many years he lived in that asylum. For sixty thousand years that sage practises ascetic austerities in that asylum.
पारियानं गिरिं प्राप्य गौतमस्याश्रमो महान्। उवास गौतमो यं च कालं तमपि मे शृणु॥ षष्टिं वर्षसहस्राणि सोऽतप्यद् गौतमस्तपः।
