[18] Thus, when the blessed birth-rite had been concluded, and when the appointed time for severing the boy’s umbilical cord had arrived, the nurse, who had been observing him and was almost inattentive owing to a flood of supreme bliss, her body thrilled with horripilation, announced two or three times, “This is a wonder! O King, elsewhere on the lake of the navel only a stalk is seen, and not a lotus; but here, there is only a lotus and no stalk!”
