ပဒုမုတ္တရ ဘုရားကို ရိုသေကြည်ညိုသောအားဖြင့် မဟာကစ္စာယနျ ရှေးဘဝတွင် တည်ဆောက်ခဲ့သော ကြာပန်းပုံသဏ္ဌာန် ဗိမာန်

A cetiya built by Mahā-Kaccāna, in a previous birth, for Padumuttara Buddha (Ap.i.84). The Apadāna Commentary explains that the building was, in fact, a Gandhakuṭi, which was called a cetiya as a mark of respect (pūjanīyabhāvena), and that it was called Paduma because it was shaped like a lotus and was covered with lotuses.
