大唐西域記 6.38

6.38

浴太子窣堵波東，有二清泉，傍建二窣堵波，是二龍從地踊出之處。菩薩生已，支屬宗親莫不奔馳，求水盥浴。夫人之前，二泉涌出，一冷一煖，遂以浴洗。其南窣堵波，是天帝釋捧接菩薩處。菩薩初出胎也，天帝釋以妙天衣，跪接菩薩。次有四窣堵波，是四天王抱持菩薩處也。菩薩從右脇生已，四大天王以金色㲲衣，捧菩薩，置金机上。至母前曰：「夫人誕斯福子，誠可歡慶。諸天尚喜，況世人乎？」

To the north of this 24 or 25 paces there is an Asôka-flower tree, which is now decayed ; this is the place where Bodhisattva was born on the eighth day of the second half of the month called Vaisâkha, which corresponds with us to the eighth day of the third month. The school of the Sthaviras (Shang-tso-pu) say it was on the fifteenth day of the second half of the same month, corresponding to the fifteenth day of the third month with us. East from this is a stûpa built by Asôka-râja, on the spot where the two dragons bathed the body of the prince. When Bodhisattva was born, he walked without assistance in the direction of the four quarters, seven paces in each direction, and said, "I am the only lord in heaven and earth ; from this time forth my births are finished." Where his feet had trod there sprang up great lotus flowers. Moreover, two dragons sprang forth, and, fixed in the air, poured down the one a cold and the other a warm water stream from his mouth, to wash the prince. To the east of this stûpa are two fountains of pure water, by the side of which have been built two stûpas. This is the place where two dragons appeared from the earth. When Bodhisattva was born, the attendants and household relations hastened in every direction to find water for the use of the child. At this time two springs gurgled forth from the earth just before the queen, the one cold, the other warm, using which they bathed him.

To the south of this is a stûpa. This is the spot where Sakra, the lord of Devas, received Bodhisattva in his arms. When Bodhisattva was born, then Sakra, the king of Devas, took him and wrapped him in an exquisite and divine robe. Close to this there are four stûpas to denote the place where the four heavenly kings received Bodhisattva in their arms. When Bodhisattva was born from the right side of his mother, the four kings wrapped him in a golden-coloured cotton vestment, and placing him on a golden slab (bench) and bringing him to his mother, they said, "The queen may rejoice indeed at having given birth to such a fortunate child!" If the Devas rejoiced at the event, how much more should men! By the side of these stûpas and not far from them is a great stone pillar, on the top of which is the figure of a horse, which was built by Asoka-raja. Afterwards, by the contrivance of a wicked dragon, it was broken off in the middle and fell to the ground. By the side of it is a little river which flows to the south-east. The people of the place call it the river of oil. This is the stream which the Devas caused to appear as a pure and glistening pool for the queen, when she had brought forth her child, to wash and purify herself in. Now it is changed and become a river, the stream of which is still unctuous. From this going east 300 li or so, across a wild and deserted jungle, we arrive at the kingdom of Lan-mo (Ramagrama).
