爾時波斯匿王。新紹王位便作是念。我今新紹王位。先應取釋種家女。即告一臣曰。往迦毘羅衛。至釋種家持我名字。告彼釋種云。波斯匿王問訊興居輕利。致問無量。又語彼釋種。欲取釋種女。設與我者抱德無已。若見違者當以力相逼大臣受教。往告迦毘羅衛國。爾時釋種。五百人集在一處。是時大臣。至釋種所具宣王言。釋種聞已極懷瞋恚。吾等大姓。何緣當與婢子結親。其眾中或言當與。或言不可與。爾時摩訶男語眾人言。諸賢勿共瞋恚。所以然者。波斯匿王為人暴惡。或壞我國界。我今躬自當往。與相見說此事情。時摩訶男家中婢生一女。面貌端正世之希有。沐浴此女。與著好衣載羽葆車。送與波斯匿王言。此是我女可共成親。時波斯匿王。得此女極懷歡喜。即立此女為第一夫人。時此夫人到此數日而身懷妊。後生一男兒。端正無雙世之殊特。時波斯匿王集諸相師。與子立字。時相師言。

At that time, King Prasenajit had newly ascended the royal throne and thought to himself: "Now that I have newly succeeded to the royal throne, I should first take a woman from the Śākya clan." He then addressed a minister, saying, "Go to Kapilavastu to the family of the Śākyas, convey my name, and tell those Śākyas: 'King Prasenajit inquires after your daily well-being, whether you are light and vigorous, extending immeasurable greetings.'
