【阿斯陀】或云阿夷，此翻無比，又翻端正。《大論》云：「阿私陀仙，白淨飯王言：『我以天耳，聞諸天鬼神說，淨飯王生子，有佛身相，故來請見。』王大歡喜，勅諸侍人，將太子出。侍人答王：『太子小睡。』時阿私陀言：『聖王常警一切，施以甘露，不應睡也。』即從座起，詣太子所，抱著臂上，上下相之。相已涕零，不能自勝。王大不悅，問相師曰：『有何不祥，涕泣如是？』仙人答言：『假使天雨金剛大山，不能動其一毛，豈有不祥？太子必當作佛。我今年暮，當生無色天上，不得見佛，不聞其法，故自悲傷耳。』」

【Asita】 Also written as Ayi; translated here as “Incomparable”, and also translated as “Upright”. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: “The ṛṣi Asita addressed King Śuddhodana, saying: ‘With the divine ear, I heard the devas, ghosts, and spirits say that King Śuddhodana had fathered a son endowed with the bodily marks of a Buddha, so I have come to request to see him.’ The king was overjoyed, and commanded his attendants to bring out the crown prince. The attendants answered the king: ‘The crown prince is taking a short rest.’ Thereupon Asita said: ‘A holy king constantly awakens all beings and bestows amṛta upon them; he should not be sleeping.’ He then arose from his seat, went to the prince's place, took him in his arms, and examined his marks from head to toe. Having examined the marks, he wept uncontrollably. The king was greatly displeased and asked the physiognomist: ‘Is there some ill omen that makes you weep like this?’ The ṛṣi answered, saying: ‘Even if the heavens were to rain down giant adamantine mountains, they could not shake a single hair of his; how could there be an ill omen? The prince is certain to become a Buddha. I am advanced in years and will be reborn in the formless realm, unable to see the Buddha or hear his Dharma; therefore I weep in self-pity.’”
