2.12

I, Sengyou, reverently reflect: Seven days after the Buddha was born, His mother ascended to Trāyastriṃśa; this is the same for all Tathāgatas of the three times. Māyā accumulated causes to host His transformation and give birth to the sage. Therefore, even after becoming the Teacher of Devas, He tasted her milk; and even after entering nirvāṇa, she arose again to pay Him respect. The virtue of wishing to repay her reached the utmost here.
