又菩薩初從母胎右脇正念生時。放大光明悉皆遍照。此是菩薩未曾有事。表成佛已。裂破無明黑暗之網。能出明淨大智慧光。又菩薩初從右脇出已正心憶念。時菩薩母身體安常。不傷不損無瘡無痛。菩薩母身如本無異。此是菩薩未曾有法。表成佛已行於梵行。不缺不減具足不少。

Moreover, when the Bodhisattva was first born from his mother's right side with right mindfulness, he emitted a great light that illuminated everywhere. This was an unprecedented event of the Bodhisattva. It symbolizes that after achieving buddhahood, he tore asunder the dark net of ignorance and was able to emanate the bright and pure light of great wisdom. Furthermore, when the Bodhisattva had first emerged from the right side with right mindfulness, the Bodhisattva’s mother’s body remained serene and normal, unharmed and undamaged, without sores or pain, the Bodhisattva’s mother’s body being no different from before. This was an unprecedented phenomenon of the Bodhisattva. It symbolizes that after achieving buddhahood, in practicing the brahmacarya, he was without lack or diminution, complete and not deficient.
