The Long Āgama Sūtra 18.15

18.15

「世尊說法又有上者，謂識入胎。入胎者，一謂亂入胎、亂住、亂出，二者不亂入、亂住、亂出，三者不亂入、不亂住而亂出，四者不亂入、不亂住、不亂出。彼不亂入、不亂住、不亂出者，入胎之上。此法無上，智慧無餘，神通無餘，諸世間沙門、婆羅門無能與如來等者，況欲出其上？

“The Dharma that the Bhagavān teaches has another superiority, which is the way consciousness enters the womb. Entering the womb refers to this: The first entry into the womb is when [consciousness] enters the womb confused, remains there confused, and emerges confused. The second is when it enters unconfused but remains there confused and emerges confused. The third is when it enters unconfused, remains there unconfused, and emerges unconfused. When it enters unconfused, remains there unconfused, and emerges unconfused, that entry into the womb is the best.

“This teaching is unsurpassed, and nothing goes beyond it. His wisdom is complete, and his miraculous ability is complete. None of the world’s ascetics and priests can match the Tathāgata. How could any arise who surpass him?
