24.5.166

「如來初生時,天地普大動,
誓願悉成辦,今曰號悉達!
彼降十八億,弊魔波旬眾,
彼名釋迦文,今日成佛道!
彼人釋師子,瞿曇次弟子,
今日作沙門,本字優陀耶!」

“When the Tathāgata was first born,
There was an earthquake in heaven and earth.
He vowed to complete the task,
So today he’s called ‘Siddhârtha.’

Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras)

He defeated 18 million [demons],
That host of corrupt Māra Pāpīyān.
He’s called Śākyamuni
Because today he achieved the Buddha path.

Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras)

That man who is the lion of the Śākyas
Was ‘Gautama’ when he was a disciple.
Today, I’ve become an ascetic
Who was formerly named Udāyī.”

Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras)
