佛祖統紀 34.9

34.9

菩薩生兜率天。名曰聖善。為諸天主說補處行。期運將至當下作佛。觀此大千界閻浮提迦毘羅國最為處中。觀淨飯王夫妻真正堪為父母。告諸天子。我應下生淨飯王家。棄輪王位出家學道。成一切種智轉大法輪。廣利天人。汝等是時亦當同會（因果經○大千即三贍界。義見三界志。閻浮提又贍部。南洲。迦毘羅此云黃色。土德尚黃居中也。淨飯迦毘羅國王。一切種智佛所得三昧。一切智真諦也。道種智俗諦。一切種智中諦也。轉去聲）。

The bodhisattva was born in the Tuṣita Heaven under the name Śreshṭha-bhadra (Shengguan). He expounded the practice of one birth away from Buddhahood to the heavenly lords. When his appointed time was approaching to descend and become a Buddha, he observed that Kapila country in Jambudvīpa within this great thousandworld was the most central; he observed that King Śuddhodana and his wife were upright and truly worthy of being his parents. He informed the gods: 'I should descend to be born in the house of King Śuddhodana, abandon the throne of a wheel-turning king, leave home to study the Way, accomplish sarvākārajñatā, turn the great wheel of the Dharma, and broadly benefit gods and humans. You all should also assemble together at that time' (Sūtra of Cause and Effect. ○ 'Great thousand' is the realm of the trichiliocosm, whose meaning is seen in the 'Treatise on the Three Realms.' Jambudvīpa is also Jambū, the southern continent. 'Kapila' is translated here as 'yellowish color'; the virtue of earth esteems yellow and occupies the center. Śuddhodana was the king of Kapila country. Sarvākārajñatā is the samādhi attained by a Buddha. Sarvajñatā is paramārtha-satya; mārgasatya is saṃvṛti-satya; sarvākārajñatā is the middle truth. 'Zhuan' is in the falling tone).
