1.14

「是時天地大動，宮中盡明。梵釋神天，皆下於空中侍。四天王接置金机上，以天香湯，浴太子身。身黃金色，有三十二相，光明徹照，上至二十八天，下至十八地獄，極佛境界莫不大明。當此日夜，天降瑞應，有三十二種：一者、地為大動坵墟皆平，二者、道巷自淨臭處更香，三者、國界枯樹皆生華葉，四者、苑園自然生奇甘果，五者、陸地生蓮華大如車輪，六者、地中伏藏悉自發出，七者、中藏寶物開現精明，八者、篋笥衣被披在椸架，九者、眾川萬流停住澄清，十者、風霽雲除空中清明，十一、天為四面細雨澤香，十二、明月神珠懸於殿堂，十三、宮中火燭為不復用，十四、日月星辰皆住不行，十五、沸星下現侍太子生，十六、釋梵寶蓋彌覆宮上，十七、八方之神捧寶來獻，十八、天百味食自然在前，十九、寶甕萬口懸盛甘露，二十、天神牽七寶交露車至，二十一、五百白象子自然羅住殿前，二十二、五百白師子子從雪山出羅住城門，二十三、天諸婇女現妓女肩上，二十四、諸龍王女繞宮而住，二十五、天萬玉女把孔雀尾拂現宮牆上，二十六、天諸婇女持金瓶盛香汁列住空中侍，二十七、天樂皆下同時俱作，二十八、地獄皆休毒痛不行，二十九、毒虫隱伏吉鳥翔鳴，三十、漁獵怨惡一時慈心，三十一、境內孕婦產者悉男，聾盲瘖瘂癃殘百疾皆悉除愈，三十二、樹神人現低首禮侍。當此之時，壃場左右，莫不雅奇，歎未曾有。

"At that time, heaven and earth shook violently, and within the palace it was completely bright. Brahmā, Śakra, and the spiritual devas all descended to attend him in mid-air. The four heavenly kings received him, placing him upon a golden desk, and with celestial fragrant water they bathed the prince's body. His body was golden in color, endowed with the thirty-two marks, and its radiance shone through, reaching up to the twenty-eight heavens and down to the eighteen hells; to the utmost limits of the Buddha's realm, there was nothing that was not brightly illuminated. On this day and night, heaven sent down auspicious responses of thirty-two kinds: first, the earth shook greatly and mounds and ruins all became level; second, the roads and lanes purified themselves and foul places turned fragrant; third, withered trees within the borders all bore flowers and leaves; fourth, orchards naturally produced rare and sweet fruits; fifth, lotus flowers as large as chariot wheels grew upon dry land; sixth, hidden treasures within the earth all emerged of themselves; seventh, precious items within vaults opened and appeared luminous and bright; eighth, clothes and quilts in trunks were displayed hanging on clothes racks; ninth, the myriad rivers and streams halted and became clear; tenth, the wind ceased, the clouds cleared, and the air became pure and bright; eleventh, from heaven on all four sides a fine rain brought fragrant moisture; twelfth, luminous moon-pearls hung within the palace halls; thirteenth, fires and torches in the palace were no longer used; fourteenth, the sun, moon, stars, and constellations all stood still without moving; fifteenth, the Puṣya star descended and appeared to attend the prince's birth; sixteenth, Śakra and Brahmā's jeweled canopy completely covered the palace above; seventeenth, spirits of the eight directions held treasures and came to offer them; eighteenth, celestial foods of a hundred flavors naturally appeared before them; nineteenth, ten thousand jeweled urns hung filled with amṛta; twentieth, celestial spirits pulled open-canopied carriages of the seven treasures and arrived; twenty-first, five hundred white elephant calves naturally lined up and stood before the palace; twenty-second, five hundred white lion cubs came out from Himavat and lined up at the city gates; twenty-third, celestial maidens appeared upon the shoulders of the singing-girls; twenty-fourth, daughters of the dragon kings stood encircling the palace; twenty-fifth, ten thousand celestial jade-maidens holding peacock-feather whisks appeared on the palace walls; twenty-sixth, celestial maidens holding golden vases filled with fragrant juice stood in ranks in mid-air to serve; twenty-seventh, celestial music all descended and sounded simultaneously; twenty-eighth, the hells all ceased and virulent pains ceased to operate; twenty-ninth, poisonous insects concealed themselves and auspicious birds soared and cried; thirtieth, fishermen, hunters, and those of bitter enmity all at once felt loving-kindness; thirty-first, pregnant women within the realm all gave birth to sons, while the deaf, blind, mute, crippled, and afflicted by the hundred diseases were all cured; thirty-second, tree spirits manifested as humans, bowing their heads and paying homage in attendance. At this time, everyone far and wide found it wondrous and marveled at what had never been before.
