"In 1560 the [Portuguese] viceroy of Goa led a raid against the Buddhist kingdom of Jafna (in modern Sri Lanka). Among the booty taken (so it turned out) was one of the holiest relics of the Buddhist world, the Buddhas tooth [...] The Inquisition stepped in [...] The tooth was removed, ground to dust and burned."
