Question

Legendarily, a site in this city was founded to honor the Banyan King's self-sacrifice for a pregnant subject of the rival Branch King. A Bamiyan-style Buddha stands by the Thai temple in this city, one of many here erected by Buddhist nations in their own styles. Devas (-5[1])with flower trays flank the giant halo of a Buddha enthroned above five disciples in a statue that F.O. Oertel found near this city's (-5[1])(*) Dhamek Stupa. This city hosted the third of four life events honored by a set of pilgrimages that also visit Kusinagara, Lumbini, and Bodh Gaya. (10[1])The Dharmacakra (10[1])Pravartana Sūtra (10[1])records the Buddha’s promulgation of the law in this city that set the wheel (10[1])of dharma in motion, as commemorated by a pillar from whose Lion Capital (10[1])the Indian flag’s Ashoka Chakra (10[1])is taken. For 10 points, (10[1]-5[1])the Buddha delivered his first sermon in what city's (-5[1])deer park? ■END■ (10[3]0[12])

ANSWER: Sarnath [or Sarangnath; or Isipatana; or Rishipattana; or Migadaya; or Mrigadava; prompt on Deer Park or answers denoting a place where deer live by asking "the deer park of what city?"; prompt on Varanasi or Benares by asking, "What city in the district of modern Varanasi?"] (The first sentence refers to the Nigrodhamiga Jataka and the founding of Sarnath's Deer Park; the third to the “Sarnath Buddha”; the fifth to the Sarnath Lion Capital.)
