2.59
本迹者,妻則齊也,豈有博地為太子妻?故知本住寂定微妙法喜,迹為佛妻。《悲花》云:「寶藏佛所,誓願為妻耳。」
As for origin and traces: 'wife' means equal; how could someone bound to the earth be the wife of the crown prince? Therefore we know that originally she abode in the subtle, wondrous Dharma joy of quiescent concentration; as traces, she was the Buddha's wife. The Karuṇāpuṇḍarīka-sūtra states: "Before the Buddha Ratnagarbha, she made a vow to become his wife."
