23.48

The Sūtra Spoken by the Buddha on Crown Prince Śrīgupta says: King Ajātaśatru's crown prince was named Śrīgupta. He addressed the Buddha, saying: 'By what cause and condition does a bodhisattva obtain an upright and handsome appearance? By what cause and condition does he not enter a woman's womb, but is spontaneously born through transformation in a lotus flower? By what cause and condition is he able to know matters of past lives (pūrvanivāsa)?'
