檢視 Nairañjana 的原始碼

'''Nairañjanā''' is the river (present-day Lilaja River) that flows northward towards the Ganges, passing near [[Bodhgaya]] in the state of Bihar, India. After leaving the royal palace, [[Shakyamuni]] practised austerities for six years on the shore of this river in the forest near the village [[Uruvela]]. Eventually he became aware that this way of practising would never lead to [[enlightenment]]. He bathed in the Nairañjana River, and then, accepting milk curds offered by a girl named Sujata, recovered his strength. He went then to sit under a nearby pippala tree until reaching enlightenment. Thus the tree later became known as the [[bodhi tree]], and the site [[Bodhgaya]].
