無量壽經連義述文贊 1.23

1.23

經曰「釋梵奉侍天人歸仰」者，述云：此明天人侍歸也。菩薩生已，於龍毘尼園七日七夜，人天擊奏種種微妙音樂以供尊顏。三萬二千名聞勝智諸婆羅門，隨其所須皆令滿足。梵王帝釋化作端正摩那婆身，於眾會中坐第一座，而演吉祥微妙讚嘆。摩醯首羅與淨居天設大供養，宣說此菩薩定得作佛。還歸本處，生滿七日已，摩那聖后即使命終，生三十三天。過七日已還迦毘羅，儀式莊嚴殊勝倍過聖后往龍毘尼園。五百釋種各造宮殿請王而言：「善哉一切成利！願天中天幸我宮殿。」以是成利因緣故，名菩薩為薩婆悉達多。王哀諸釋，即將菩薩入諸釋宮，經於四月方得周遍，乃將菩薩歸於自宮。自宮之中有一大殿名寶莊嚴，菩薩居已，王召諸親族長德耆年，請摩訶婆闍波提為養育主，王躬抱付於姨母，姨母遂命三十二養育母養育菩薩，譬如白月從初一日至十五日清淨圓滿也。

Regarding the passage in the sūtra, "Śakra and Brahmā attended him, while gods and humans turned to him with reverence": The commentary states: This clarifies the attendance and taking of refuge by gods and humans. After the bodhisattva was born, in the Lumbinī grove for seven days and seven nights, humans and gods played all kinds of marvelous music to make offerings to the Honoured Countenance. Thirty-two thousand renowned Brahmins of superior wisdom were provided with whatever they needed to their complete satisfaction. King Brahmā and Śakra transformed themselves into the handsome forms of young brahmacārins (māṇava), took the foremost seats in the great assembly, and expounded marvelous and auspicious praises. Maheśvara and the Śuddhāvāsa devas made great offerings and proclaimed that this bodhisattva would definitely attain Buddhahood. Returning to their original abodes, when seven days had elapsed after the birth, the holy queen Māyā died and was born in the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven. After seven days had passed, they returned to Kapilavastu, with ceremonial adornments twice as marvelous as when the holy queen had gone to the Lumbinī grove. Five hundred Śākya clansmen each built palaces, requesting of the king, saying: "How wonderful, All-Accomplishing (Sarvārthasiddha)! May the God among Gods grace my palace!" By reason of this cause and condition of achieving benefit, the bodhisattva was named Sarvārthasiddha. The king, taking pity on the Śākyas, thereupon brought the bodhisattva into the palaces of the various Śākyas, taking four months to complete the rounds, and only then did he bring the bodhisattva back to his own palace. Within his own palace there was a great hall named Jeweled Adornment; after the bodhisattva took up residence there, the king summoned all the clan relatives, elders, and venerables, and requested Mahāprajāpatī to be the foster mother. The king personally held the child and entrusted him to his maternal aunt, and the aunt then commanded thirty-two foster mothers to nurture the bodhisattva, just as the bright moon waxes pure and round from the first day to the fifteenth.
