Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Oxford Academic: The History of the Buddha's Relic ShrineKṣantivāda is the name of an ancient Ascetic, according to the Thūpavaṃsa: a Buddhist chronicle composed by Parakama Pandita in 13th-century Sri Lanka.—Accordingly, as the Brahmin teacher Droṇa said, “Meritorious kings! May you all listen to my speech. Our Omniscient One extolled forbearance in many births—as the ascetic Kṣantivāda, as Prince Dharmapāla, and when he was born as the Nāga king Sakpa. It would not be proper if you fought with weapons here for the bodily relics of the Buddha, [who is] the ruby adorning the top of the crown, namely, the noble Perfection of Forbearance. Kings, being united with each other, dividing the relics into eight shares, taking the relics to your respective kingdoms, and building relic shrines, may you all make offerings. When that is so, many persons will arouse serene joy with regard to the Omniscient One, who has the Five Eyes”.
Note: For Kṣantivāda, Cf. Khantivādi Jātaka (no. 313).
