3.31

[Mahāmāyā] The Record of the Western Regions says: "In the Tang language called Dashu (Great Art), or Dahuan (Great Illusion)." The Jin Avataṃsaka states: "Queen Māyā answered Sudhana, saying: 'I have achieved the Dharma-gate of the great vow's wisdom-illusion. Because I obtained this Dharma-gate, I became the mother of Vairocana Tathāgata. In Jambudvīpa, in the city of Kapilavastu, within King Śuddhodana's palace, Prince Siddhārtha was born from my right side, manifesting inconceivable and sovereign divine power.'" The Benxing jing says: "At that time, seven days after the prince was born, the prince's mother, Queen Māyā, passed away." The Yinguo jing says: "The prince's aunt, Mahāprajāpatī, nursed and raised the prince no differently from his mother."
