The behavior of Buddha's cousin Devadatta led to a split
within the Buddhist religious community. Buddhas settled the
dispute among the participants in the Veluvana bamboo grove
in Rafagriha. This inspired the inhabitants of the kingdom
of Magadha to erect a stupa in honor of this significant
event. This is how the reconciliation stupa also known as
Yidum Chorten [dbyen bsdum mchod rten -
དབྱེན་ཟླུམ་མཆོད་རྟེན] came into being
At almost 10 cm or 4 inches in diameter, this relatively
large and very old Tsa Tsa is rich in symbolism. The large
central Gorman stupa shown here is flanked on the right and
left by two other smaller stupas. All three rest on a base
of lotus petals. The two smaller ones are connected to the
central stupa by stems of the lotus plant between their
bases. Two lotus plants grow from them, each with a lotus
flower at the end. The top is crowned by a protective
umbrella. To the right and left of this are decorative
garlands. In the innermost circle around the three stupas,
some remnants of the original gilding can be seen on the
left.
Surrounded by a beaded band, this repeated inscription can
be seen around the edge. The characters were written in the
Tibetan Uchen script. It is unusual, but not uncommon, for a
Sanskrit text to be written in Tibetan characters rather
than the corresponding Sanskrit script [Devanagari].
However, the language is not Tibetan, but ancient Indian
Sanskrit. The text reads »sanadharas sanadharas ras«. The
translation of the surrounding inscription is complicated by
the fact that the Sanskrit text deviates from the classical
linguistic form of that language.
It is possible that »sanadharas sanadharas ras« means
»Bearer of the jewel« [The wisdom of equality that inspires
compassion for all living beings]. This term is a stupa
consecration text within the Dharmakaya relic mantras. This
would make sense in the context of the stupa depicted in the
centre, but is by no means certain.
There is one notable speciality that is only found in a few
Tsa Tsas today: It's a round sealed cavity on the back which
is probably still filled with mantras written on paper. A
few Tibetan characters are [barely] visible on the surface
of the seal.
