又善見律云。輸頭檀那王禮佛已白佛言。我今三度禮如來足。一佛初生時。阿夷相曰。若在家者應作轉輪聖王。若出家學道必得成佛。是時地為震動。我見神力。即為作禮。第二我出游戲有耕田人。菩薩在閻浮樹下。日時已晡。樹影停住不移覆菩薩身。我見神力。即為作禮。第三今迎佛至國。佛升虛作十八變。如伏外道。神力無異。即為作禮。

> The Samantapāsādikā also states: "King Śuddhodana, having prostrated to the Buddha, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'I have now thrice prostrated to the feet of the Tathāgata. First, when the Buddha was newly born, Asita examined his marks and said: "If he remains at home, he shall become a wheel-turning holy king; if he leaves home to study the Way, he must surely become a Buddha." At that time the earth shook; seeing this divine power, I then prostrated to him. Second, when I went on an excursion, there were men plowing the fields. The Bodhisattva sat beneath a jambu tree; the time was already late afternoon, yet the tree's shadow remained still without shifting, sheltering the Bodhisattva's body. Seeing this divine power, I then prostrated to him. Third, now welcoming the Buddha's arrival in our kingdom, the Buddha ascended into the air and performed eighteen transformations, just as when subduing the non-Buddhists, with no difference in divine power; I then prostrated to him.'"
