菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 6.7

6.7

爾時，世尊說此偈已，於大眾中諸天及人，七萬七千億那由他，皆發無上正真道心。爾時，世尊告智清淨菩薩曰：「一生補處菩薩大士，以權方便在卑賤家生，欲得示現除無明結，十月在胎臨生之日現無手足，父母覩見謂為是鬼，捐棄曠野不使人見。所以者何？菩薩權化欲令愚癡父母眷屬覩見道明，其後數月母復懷娠，具滿十月生一男兒，端正姝妙世之希有，晝生夜死，父母號哭椎胸向天：『山神、樹神何不憐我？先生一子而無手足捐棄曠野，今生一子端正無比狀如天神，今復晝生夜死，心肝斷絕當復奈何？』復經數月母繫懷妊，十月具滿生一男兒，三頭八脚四眼八臂，覩者毛竪，父母眷屬捨而欲去；菩薩權現令不得去。父母問曰：『為是天耶？為是龍、鬼神、阿修羅、乾闥婆、伽樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、人與非人耶？』」爾時所生男兒，即以偈報父母曰：
