Furthermore, the Puyang jing states: seven days after the bodhisattva was born, his mother passed away and received the auspicious reward of rebirth in the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven. As soon as she ascended to that heaven, fifty thousand Brahmā gods, each holding a precious vase, and twenty thousand wives of Brahmā and Māra holding precious threads in their hands, attended upon the mother of the bodhisattva. Furthermore, the Ruiying benqi jing states: the bodhisattva originally knew that the virtue of a mortal mother could not bear his obeisance; therefore, because her end was near, he was born from her. Furthermore, the Da shanquan jing states: seven days after his birth, his mother died; her merit entitled her to ascend to heaven, and it was not the bodhisattva's fault. Furthermore, the Yinguo jing states: the crown prince's maternal aunt, Mahāprajāpatī, nursed and raised the crown prince no differently than his own mother.
