巴連弗國有婆羅門。名曰阿耆尼達多。通達經論。納妻之後少時懷𨉃。懷𨉃大欲論議。夫問相師。相師答曰。胎中之子善能論議。日月既滿遂產一男。達諸經論。為婆羅門師。兼授人醫術(出雜阿含經第二十五卷)。

In the country of Pāṭaliputra, there was a brāhmaṇa named Agnidatta who was thoroughly versed in the sūtras and treatises. After taking a wife, she soon became pregnant. While pregnant, she had a great desire to debate. The husband questioned a physiognomist. The physiognomist replied: 'The child in the womb is adept at debate.' When the months and days were fulfilled, she gave birth to a boy. He mastered all the sūtras and treatises, became a teacher of brāhmaṇas, and also instructed people in the medical arts. (From the Saṃyuktāgama Sūtra, fascicle 25)
