大花嚴經云。菩薩從兜率陀天降神下時。此林中有十種瑞相。一者忽然廣博。二者土石變為金剛。三者寶樹行列。四者沈水末香種種莊嚴。五者花鬘充滿。六者寶水流出。七者池出芙蓉。八者天龍夜叉合掌而住。九者天女合掌恭敬。十者十方一切佛臍中放光。普照此林現佛受生。

The Mahāvaipulya Buddhāvataṃsaka Sūtra says: 'When the Bodhisattva descended his spirit from the Tuṣitabhavana, there were ten auspicious signs in this grove: first, it suddenly became vast and broad; second, earth and stone transformed into adamantine; third, precious trees stood in orderly rows; fourth, it was adorned in various ways with aloeswood and powdered incense; fifth, flower-garlands filled it completely; sixth, precious waters flowed forth; seventh, lotuses emerged from the ponds; eighth, devas, nāgas, and yakṣas stood with palms joined; ninth, devīs joined their palms in reverence; tenth, all the Buddhas of the ten directions emitted light from their navels, universally illuminating this grove and manifesting the Buddha receiving birth.'
