大方便佛報恩經 3.30

3.30

"Then the female deer immediately became pregnant, and when her months were full, gave birth. The nature of a deer giving birth is that it must return to the original place where it conceived. She therefore returned to the water's edge, stood on the original rock, and crying out plaintively while tossing and turning, gave birth to a daughter. At that time the ṛṣi heard this deer's plaintive crying and loud calls. The ṛṣi of the southern cave, hearing the sound of the deer's great, plaintive crying, gave rise to compassion in his heart, and immediately went out to look, seeing that this female deer had given birth to a daughter. The mother deer was rolling about and licking her, but seeing the ṛṣi approach, she abandoned her and went away.
