A five-colored light penetrated Taiwei, and in the west it turned entirely into the color of a dark rainbow. The Grand Astrologer Su You said: 'A great sage is born in the west; beyond a thousand years, his voice and teachings will reach here.' King Zhao immediately ordered an inscription on stone to record it, buried in front of the deva temple in the southern suburbs. This was the time of the Buddha's birth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088.2.97) - [Next: 2.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088.2.99) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088~en-mt.2.98) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [佛祖統紀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.34.19) — 志磐, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088.2.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2088.2.98) · Pramāṇa
