34.18

夫人往藍毘尼園中。四月八日日初出時。舉右手牽無憂樹華。菩薩從右脇出墮七寶華上。自行七步。舉右手而言曰。天上天下唯我獨尊。王召諸婆羅門當作何名。答言。太子生時多有吉祥。當名薩婆悉達(此云一切義成。出因果瑞應二經)。

The Lady went into the Lumbinī grove. On the eighth day of the fourth month, just as the sun was rising, she raised her right hand and pulled down a blossom of an aśoka tree. The Bodhisattva emerged from her right flank, descended onto a seven-jeweled flower, walked seven steps on his own, and raising his right hand, declared: 'In the heavens above and beneath the heavens, I alone am the most honored.' The King summoned various brāhmaṇas [and asked], 'What name should be given to him?' They replied: 'When the prince was born, there were many auspicious signs; he should be named Sarvārthasiddha' (translated here as 'All Aims Accomplished'; from the two sūtras, Cause and Effect and Auspicious Responses).
