大唐西域記 6.2.4

6.2.4

The Rishi said, "I was quietly resting (or, observing the summer rest) in the palace of the Devas, when I suddenly saw the multitude of the Devas dancing together for joy. I forthwith asked why they rejoiced in this extravagant way, on which they said, 'Great Rishi, you should know that to-day is born in Jambudvipa, of Maya, the first queen of Suddhodana-raja of the Sakya line, a royal son, who shall attain the complete enlightenment of sambodhi, and become all-wise.' Hearing this, I have come accordingly to behold the child; alas! that my age should prevent me awaiting the holy fruit." At the south gate of the city is a stupa. This is where the royal prince, when contending with the Sakya princes, cast the elephant away. The royal prince having contended in the public competition (of arts and athletic exercises), was left entirely alone (without compeer) among them all, (or, in every exercise). And now the Maharaja Suddhodana, after receiving congratulations (or, congratulating him), was about to go back to the city.
