Rh 475 the Ela or ancient form of Buddha; Raja, King. Boro Bada Raja, the Great King Buddha, elided into Boro Budur; or it may mean the encompassing of King Buddha, from the place having perhaps originally been the depository of some relic of Buddha, as such relics were highly valued, and sent every where and preserved wherever Buddhism made its way, and preserved in Dagabas or Domes. The temple of Boro Budur is surrounded by many such Dagabas, with an extra large one in the centre, which has been evidently intended for such a Dagaba. Dagaba, C. 264 from Dá or Dáta, a bone and Gaba from Garbbha the womb, a large solid building in the form of a Cone raised close to the Buddhist temples, and is an object of the highest veneration. The erection of these Dagabas had its origin in the fable that after the death of Buddha, his body, according to the custom of the country where he lived, was burnt. After the conflagration had ceased, certain portions of his bones had survived the operation of the fire; these were carefully collected and deposited with great pomp and solemnity by the priests in a building of this kind, raised for the purpose; afterwards, these sacred relies were divided, and sent over the world, for the purpose of religious veneration; every temple had its Dagaba, and every dagaba has a portion of these bones. .
