法苑珠林 9.18

9.18

又涅槃經云。菩薩初生之時。於十方面各行七步。摩尼跋陀富那跋陀鬼神大將。執持旛蓋。振動無量無邊世界。金色晃曜彌滿虛空。難陀龍王及跋難陀。以神通力浴菩薩身。諸天形像承迎禮拜。阿私陀仙合掌恭敬。盛年捨欲如棄涕唾。不為世樂之所迷惑。出家修道樂於閑寂。為破邪見六年苦行。於諸眾生平等無二。心常在定初無散亂。相好嚴麗莊飾其身。所游之處丘墟皆平。衣服離身四寸不墮。行時直視不顧左右。所食之物物無完過。坐起之處草不動亂。為調眾生故往說法。心無憍慢。

Furthermore, the Nirvāṇa Sūtra says: When the Bodhisattva was first born, he walked seven steps in each of the ten directions. The great spirit-generals Māṇibhadra and Pūrṇabhadra held banners and canopies. Countless and boundless worlds trembled. A golden radiant glow filled the sky. The Nāga King Nanda and Upananda used supernatural powers to bathe the Bodhisattva’s body. The images of the devas welcomed him and bowed down in reverence. The rṣi Asita folded his hands in respect. In his prime, [the Bodhisattva] renounced desire as though casting aside spittle, undeluded by worldly pleasures. He left household life to practice the Path, delighting in solitude. To shatter wrong views, he practiced austerities for six years. Toward all sentient beings, he was impartial and non-dual. His mind was constantly in samādhi, never scattered from the beginning. His body was adorned with magnificent marks and signs. Wherever he walked, mounds and ruins were flattened. His robes stayed four inches away from his body and did not fall. When walking, he looked straight ahead without glancing left or right. Of the food he ate, nothing remained whole. Where he sat and stood, the grass was not disturbed. To tame sentient beings, he went forth to teach the Dharma, his mind without arrogance.
