爾時占夢婆羅門師白大王言。夫人所夢其相甚善。大王今者當自慶幸。夫人所產必生聖子。彼於後時必成佛道。名聞遠至。時淨飯王聞諸占師說此偈已。心大歡喜多以財施。時淨飯王聞此相師占觀妃夢。云是吉祥之瑞。占相之後即於其國迦毘羅城四門之外。并衢道頭街巷阡陌有人行處。安大無遮義會之施。所須飲食財寶宅舍畜生皆悉與之。又阿私陀是五通仙人。聞菩薩從兜率陀天正念下至淨飯王宮夫人右脇。入於胎時放大光明。遍照人天一切世界。後此大地具足六種十八相動。時阿私陀見未曾有事。心大驚怖毛孔悉竪。今有何緣。此大地動。有何果報。時彼仙人少時思惟然後而住。心生歡喜踊躍無量不能自勝。作是唱言。希有大聖不可思議。世間當出大富伽羅。又菩薩初從兜率下時。入母右脇受胎訖已。時有一天。名曰速往。至諸地獄大聲唱言。汝諸人輩一切當知。菩薩今從兜率天下入於母胎。是故汝等速發誓願願生人間。地獄眾生聞此語已。所有眾生往昔已來。曾種善根復造雜業。以惡強故墮於地獄。彼等各各面相覩見厭離地獄。復得光明身心安樂。復得聞於速往世間諸天之聲。捨地獄身即生人中。所有三千大千世界諸眾生等。往昔已來種善根者。皆來於此迦毘羅城四面託生。

Then the brahmin dream-interpreters said to the great king: "The marks in the queen's dream are extremely good. The Great King should now congratulate himself: the one born to the queen will surely be a holy son. In the future he will certainly accomplish the Buddha path, and his renown will reach far." King Śuddhodana, hearing the dream-interpreters recite this verse, rejoiced greatly in his heart and gave lavish gifts of wealth. When King Śuddhodana heard these physiognomists examine the queen's dream and declare it to be an auspicious omen, after this divination he immediately established a great unrestricted gathering of giving outside the four gates of the city of Kapilavastu in that country, as well as at intersections, street corners, and crossroads where people walked, giving all food, drink, treasures, houses, and livestock that were needed. Furthermore, Asita was an ascetic with five supernormal knowledges. Hearing that the Bodhisattva with right mindfulness had descended from Tuṣita Heaven to King Śuddhodana's palace and into the queen's right flank, when he entered the womb he emitted a great light that illuminated all worlds of humans and devas everywhere; thereafter, this great earth shook in full with the six kinds of eighteen marks. Asita, seeing this unprecedented occurrence, was terrified at heart, all his hair standing on end: "What is the cause now for this great earth to shake? What karmic result is this?" That ascetic reflected for a short while and then paused, his heart giving rise to immeasurable and uncontrollable leapings of joy. He uttered this exclamation: "Rare, Great Sage, inconceivable! A great puruṣa will appear in the world!" Furthermore, when the Bodhisattva first descended from Tuṣita and, having entered his mother's right flank, completed his conception, a god named Vegadhārin went to the hells and cried out in a loud voice: "You people, all should know! The Bodhisattva has now descended from Tuṣita Heaven and entered his mother's womb. Therefore, you should swiftly make vows, aspiring to be born in the human world!" When the hell-beings heard these words, all beings who from the past onward had planted good roots yet committed mixed karma, and who had fallen into hell because of the preponderance of evil, saw each other's faces and grew weary of hell; they obtained light, becoming peaceful and happy in body and mind; and hearing the voice of Vegadhārin among the devas of the world, they cast off their hell bodies and were immediately born among humans. All those sentient beings in the trichiliocosm who from the past onward had planted good roots came to take birth around this city of Kapilavastu on all sides.
