Later, before the child was born, the mother died, and non-Buddhists mocked and criticized the Buddha's prediction as having no proof. On the day the mother was cremated, the Buddha ordered a messenger to enter the fire and retrieve the child; although the mother had died, her child was not dead. The messenger entered the fire and carried the child back; through the Buddha's sustaining power, the fire did not burn the messenger. This was because the Buddha had only predicted the child, not the mother. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.126](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2.126) - [Next: 2.128](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2.128) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.2.127) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.86) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2.127](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.2.127) · Pramāṇa
