1.83

菩薩七日後其母命終。所以者何。應然。菩薩察之。臨母命終因來下生。懷菩薩時諸天供養。已服天食不甘世養。本福應然。去來今佛皆亦如是。母七日終。應受忉利天上功祚。適升彼天。五萬梵天各執寶瓶。二萬魔妻手執寶縷侍菩薩母。

Seven days after the Bodhisattva['s birth], his mother passed away. Why was this? It had to be so. The Bodhisattva observed this: as his mother approached the end of her life, he descended to be born. While carrying the Bodhisattva, the devas made offerings to her; having tasted divine food, she could not savor worldly nourishment. Her past merit was such that this had to happen. All Buddhas of the past, future, and present are likewise so: seven days [after birth], their mothers pass away and should receive karmic blessings in the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven. As soon as she ascended to that heaven, fifty thousand Brahmā devas each held a jeweled vase, and twenty thousand wives of Māra held jeweled threads in their hands, to attend upon the Bodhisattva's mother.
