「時諸太子即便出家,受其母請,住後園中。一一太子皆得辟支佛道,如是次第四百九十九太子皆得道果。往詣宮中,至父母前,報言父母:『出家利益,今已獲得。』時諸比丘身昇虛空,東踊西沒,西踊東沒,南踊北沒,北踊南沒。或作大身滿虛空中,復以一身作無量身;或身上出水,身下出火;身下出水,身上出火。為其父母作種種神變已,即便燒身,取般泥洹。時鹿母夫人收取身骨,於後園中,即起四百九十九塔供養。最小太子過九十日已,亦得辟支佛道,亦為父母現大神變,現神變已即取泥洹。爾時其母收取身骨,起塔供養。

"Then the princes immediately left home and, accepting their mother's request, resided in the rear garden. Each prince attained the path of a pratyekabuddha. In this manner, four hundred and ninety-nine princes successively attained the fruit of the Path. They went to the palace, came before their parents, and addressed them: 'The benefits of leaving home have now been attained.' Then the bhikṣus rose into the air, leaping up in the east and disappearing in the west, leaping up in the west and disappearing in the east, leaping up in the south and disappearing in the north, and leaping up in the north and disappearing in the south. Or they manifested large bodies filling the sky, and again from a single body manifested immeasurable bodies; or they emitted water from the upper half of their bodies and fire from the lower half, and emitted water from the lower half and fire from the upper half. Having displayed various supernatural transformations for their parents, they immediately immolated their bodies and entered parinirvāṇa. Then Lady Deer-Mother gathered their bodily relics and, in the rear garden, erected four hundred and ninety-nine stūpas to make offerings. After ninety days had passed, the youngest prince also attained the path of a pratyekabuddha. He likewise displayed great supernatural transformations for his parents, and having displayed the supernatural transformations, he immediately entered nirvāṇa. Then his mother gathered his bodily relics and erected a stūpa to make offerings.
