9.27

如瑞應經云。當爾之時諸釋種姓亦同一日生五百男。修行本起經云。國中八萬四千長者生子悉男。八萬四千厩馬生駒。其一特異。毛色純白𩦲𩥂貫珠。故名為蹇特。奴名闡特。

As the Ruiying jing states: at that very time, the various Śākya clansmen also gave birth on the same day to five hundred male children. The Xiuxing benqi jing states: throughout the country, eighty-four thousand elders gave birth to children who were all male. Eighty-four thousand mares in the stables gave birth to foals. One among them was extraordinary, its coat pure white, its mane and tail adorned as if strung with pearls; therefore it was named Kanthaka. The servant was named Chanda.
