菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 6.14

6.14

「於虛空有天叉手白菩薩言：『忍力最大破碎結使，今垂成佛慎勿退轉。』過去恒河沙諸佛世尊，不如菩薩斷食求道，天神所感，使彌家女奉上乳糜，食已氣力充足。七日思惟降伏魔怨，梵天下請得成為佛闡揚大法，可謂真道無過涅槃。涅槃無生，老，病，死。吾昔所更苦行如是。」

"Then in the open sky there was a deva who joined his palms and said to the Bodhisattva: 'The power of patience is supreme; it shatters the defilements. Now that you are on the verge of attaining Buddhahood, take care not to turn back!' The past Buddhas and Bhagavats, numerous as the sands of the Ganges, were not like the Bodhisattva in fasting to seek the path. Moved by the celestial spirit, the daughter of the Sujātā family was made to offer milk rice, after eating which his energy and strength were fully restored. For seven days he contemplated and subdued Māra's hordes. When Brahmā descended to make his entreaty, he attained Buddhahood and broadly propagated the great Dharma. This may be called the real path, than which nothing surpasses nirvāṇa. Nirvāṇa is free of birth, aging, illness, and death. Such were the austerities that I experienced in the past."
