When the Buddha died, Sarabhū recovered from the pyre the Buddha’s collar-bone, and, bringing it to Ceylon, deposited it in the Mahiyaṅgaṇa cetiya, covering the relic-chamber with medavaṇṇa-stones in the presence of a large number of monks. He raised the cetiya to a height of twelve cubits. Mhv.i.37.
