7.32
"Akṣayamati! Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva possesses such great majestic supernatural powers and brings vast benefits. Therefore, sentient beings should constantly hold him in mind. If a woman wishes to seek a boy, by bowing and making offerings to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, she will give birth to a boy endowed with blessings, virtue, and wisdom. If she wishes to seek a girl, she will give birth to an upright and well-featured girl, who has planted the roots of virtue in past lives and is loved and respected by all."
