法苑珠林 9.17

9.17

又菩薩初從右脇生時。四大天王抱持菩薩。將向母前示其母言。世大夫人今可歡喜。夫人生子既得人身。諸天猶尚歡喜讚歎。況復於人。此是菩薩未曾有法。表成佛已無量四眾皆向如來聽受於法。依如來教不違不背。又菩薩生已立在於地。仰觀於母右脇之時口作是言。我此身形從今日後不復更受。於母脇中不入胎臥。此是於我最末後身。我當作佛。此是菩薩未曾有法。表成佛已口作是言。我今生分一切已盡。梵行已立所作已辦。不受後有。此是如來往先瑞相。

Furthermore, when the Bodhisattva was first born from the right side, the Four Heavenly Kings held the Bodhisattva in their arms, brought him before his mother, and showed him to her, saying: “Great Queen of the world, you may now rejoice! The Queen has given birth to a son who has obtained a human body; even the devas rejoice and praise him, how much more so humans!” This was an unprecedented phenomenon of the Bodhisattva. It symbolizes that after achieving buddhahood, countless members of the fourfold assembly would go to the Tathāgata to hear and receive the Dharma, following the Tathāgata's teachings without disobeying or opposing them. Furthermore, after being born, the Bodhisattva stood on the ground, looked up at his mother's right side, and spoke these words: “From this day forward, I shall never receive this physical form again; I shall not enter the womb or lie in a mother’s side. This is my final body. I shall become a Buddha.” This was an unprecedented phenomenon of the Bodhisattva. It symbolizes that after achieving buddhahood, he spoke these words: “My cycle of rebirths has been entirely exhausted; the brahmacarya has been established; what was to be done has been accomplished; I shall receive no further existence.” This was an auspicious sign prior [to the buddhahood] of the Tathāgata.
