你们这些寻求甘露者,请到中央之地的居民那里去投生吧!就这样。那时,兜率天的诸神这样祈请道:菩萨请知悉。现在世界被罪恶所染污,众生是难以调伏的。瞻部洲有持世圆满者,黑屋之子到处游荡者,以及真实胜者派能言说者之女之子,不败发衣者,迦多之子有髻者,亲友之子裸体者,即六位论师,婆罗门种姓胜者,婆罗门黑斑者,婆罗门善护者,婆罗门梵天寿者,婆罗门莲花藏者,婆罗门红者,即六位随行者,僵硬者之子余食者,幻术知者之子远飞者,到处游荡极善者,婆罗门之子遍胜者,仙人无烦恼者,增长光持髻者,即六位等持者。就这样,共有十八种扰乱者。如果能在兜率天此处设置十二由旬的法座,在此讲经说法并安住,那就太好了。就这样。然后,菩萨对朋友们说:因此,敲响所有的乐器吧!他们敲响所有的乐器时,菩萨也吹响了海螺,问道:这些声音中,哪个声音最大?回答说:是海螺的声音。菩萨说道:就像海螺的声音压倒所有其他的乐器声一样,我也要压倒他们,用甘露使众生感到满足。一头狮子能制伏众多的野兽。一颗金刚能摧毁众多的岩峰。一个帝释天能制伏众多的非天之主。一个太阳能驱散众多的黑暗。你们这些寻求甘露者,请到六座城市去投生吧!就这样。那时,在空中游荡的诸神宣称:再过十二年,菩萨将入于母胎。等等。那时,在瞻部洲有大约五百位独觉佛,他们彼此聚集

You who seek nectar, please go and be reborn among the inhabitants of the central land! Thus it was said. Then, the gods of Tushita made this request: Bodhisattva, please be aware. Now the world is stained by sin, and beings are difficult to subdue. In Jambudvipa are the Holder of the World who has attained completion, the son of the Black House who wanders everywhere, as well as the son of the daughter of the speaker of the True Victorious Sect, the Unvanquished Hair-Clad One, the son of Kata with a Topknot, the son of Kinsman, the Naked One, that is, the six logicians, the Brahmin Lineage Victor, the Brahmin Black-Marked One, the Brahmin Well-Protected One, the Brahmin Brahma's Life, the Brahmin Lotus Essence, the Brahmin Red One, that is, the six followers, the son of the Rigid One, the Remnant-Eater, the son of Illusion-Knowing One, the Far-Flier, the All-Wandering Most Excellent One, the Brahmin Boy All-Victorious One, the Sage Without Afflictions, the Increasing Light Hair-Clad One, that is, the six who abide in equipoise. Thus, there are eighteen disturbers. If we were to set up a Dharma throne of twelve yojanas in this place of Tushita, it would be excellent if you were to teach the Dharma and reside here. Thus it was said. Then, the Bodhisattva said to his friends: Therefore, strike all the musical instruments! When they struck all the musical instruments, the Bodhisattva also blew the conch shell and asked: Of these sounds, which is the loudest? They replied: It is the sound of the conch shell. The Bodhisattva said: Just as the sound of the conch shell subdues all other musical sounds, so too shall I subdue them, and satisfy beings with nectar. A single lion subdues a multitude of wild beasts. A single vajra shatters a multitude of rock peaks. A single Indra subdues a multitude of non-god lords. A single sun dispels a multitude of darkness. You who seek nectar, please go and be reborn in the six cities! Thus it was said. At that time, the gods who wander in the sky proclaimed: In twelve years, the Bodhisattva will enter his mother's womb. And so on. At that time, there were about five hundred solitary Buddhas residing in Jambudvipa, and they gathered together from one to another.

之后前往瓦拉纳西。心想现在佛陀很快就会出现,我们不必再为众生做事了。便进入无余涅槃界中示现涅槃。用自生之火焚烧遗体,升入天空,舍利从空中落到地上。第四,从兜率天降生到母亲的胎中:之后兜率天的诸神说道:如果主尊您前往瞻部洲,兜率天的天界将会变得衰败。菩提萨埵说道:从今以后,弥勒将宣讲佛法。在胜者弥勒而非未胜者身上,亲自戴上顶冠,任命为继承者。之后,天界之主帝释天为母亲摩耶夫人的身体增添光彩,并使胎儿也变得纯净。到了夏季的月中的十五日,摩耶夫人也受持了清净的斋戒律仪,菩萨也在夜晚的午夜时分,化现为六牙白象的形象进入母亲的胎中。当时,大地震动,整个世界充满了光明。母亲梦见一头大象从自己的右侧进入腹中,并在天空飞行,攀登巨大的山岩,许多人向自己顶礼膜拜。第二天,她向国王禀告了此事。国王派遣大臣们去召请解梦者和婆罗门占卜师。国王询问了他们,他们说道:如果以此占卜,将会诞生一位具有三十二相的王子。如是。第五,安住于胎中:之后,天界之主帝释天为了安住在胎中的菩提萨埵,安排了四位手持利剑、手持长矛、手持短矛、手持大箭的勇猛而果敢的天子作为护卫。之后,安住在母亲的胎中时,也没有被不净之物所沾染。如同在琉璃宝珠的中央放置五色彩线一般,童子的身体圆满具足,具足妙相,就在母亲的身体

Then he went to Varanasi. Thinking that the Buddha would soon appear, and we would not have to work for the benefit of beings, he passed into the realm of Nirvana without residue. He set fire to the remains with self-generated fire. As he went into the sky, the relics fell to the ground. Fourth, the transference from Tushita to the mother's womb: Then the gods of Tushita said: If you, Lord, go to Jambudvipa, this abode of the gods of Tushita will become bad. The Bodhisattva said: From now on, Maitreya will teach the Dharma. He crowned Maitreya, the victorious one over the non-victorious, and appointed him as regent. Then Indra, the lord of the gods, increased the radiance of the body of the mother, the goddess Mayadevi, and purified the womb. On the fifteenth day of the middle of the summer month, the goddess Mayadevi took the vows of purification, and the Bodhisattva also transformed into the form of a white elephant with six tusks at midnight and entered the mother's womb. At that time, the great earth shook, and all the realms of the world were filled with light. In the mother's dream, a great elephant entered her womb from her right side, and went into the sky, climbed great mountains and rocks, and many people prostrated to her. The next morning, she told the king. The king sent ministers to summon dream interpreters and Brahmin diviners. The king asked them, and they said: If we interpret this omen, a son with the thirty-two major marks will be born. So it is. Fifth, abiding in the womb: Then Indra, the lord of the gods, for the Bodhisattva abiding in the womb, placed four brave and courageous sons of the gods as bodyguards, holding swords, spears, short spears, and large arrows. Then, while abiding in the mother's womb, he was not defiled by impurities. Like placing five colored threads in the center of a beryl jewel, the boy's body was perfect and complete with marks, in the mother's body.

身体的外面也没有遮蔽而清晰地显现。从那时起直到寿命终结,王后安住于五种学处,不信任欲望。之后,天女幻化在宫殿的游乐园中,拥有无量的用具和财富,远离一切痛苦和不适的因缘,如欢喜园林的天女一样安住。某时,生起饮用四大海之水的愿望,禀告国王,国王询问相士们。相士们说:这是胎儿的力量,他将饮用知识的海洋。国王说:如果没让他喝水会怎样?回答说:会生下肢体不全的孩子。国王心想:我净饭王怎么能让儿子肢体不全呢?于是召唤一位精通幻术咒语的遍行者,名叫红眼。他以咒语变幻出四大海,让她喝水满足。同样,国王也下令释放所有囚犯。国王也同样满足了许多人布施的愿望。此外,对于想观看各种游乐园等愿望,也同样满足了。第六,诞生的事业:这样在腹中满了十个月,所有树木和花朵都极其茂盛,鸟儿们欢快地鸣叫,娑罗树的果实成熟而弯曲。春季末月的上弦日到来时,大幻化天女心想:我应该住在天示园林中。禀告国王后,国王也答应了。于是准备前往靠近天示城的蓝毗尼园林,乘坐四种珍宝装饰的车辇,许多侍女围绕。国王净饭王也带着四种军队,从迦毗罗卫城出发,前往蓝毗尼园林。之后,如其他经典所说,八日早晨,当星宿降临在氐宿星的第一宿时,说是诞生之时。无论如何,母亲四处观看,看到无忧树鲜花盛开。

And it appeared clearly without being obscured from outside the body. From that time until the end of her life, the queen remained in the five places of learning and did not trust desires. Then, the goddess Illusion, in the pleasure garden of the palace, with immeasurable utensils and wealth, abandoned all causes of suffering and discomfort, and dwelt like a goddess in a joyful garden. Once, a desire arose to drink the water of the four oceans. She told the king, and he asked the astrologers. They said, "This is the power of the fetus; it will drink the ocean of knowledge." The king said, "What will happen if it is not given water?" They replied, "It will give birth to a child with incomplete limbs." The king thought, "How can I, Śuddhodana, have a son with incomplete limbs?" So he summoned a wandering ascetic named Red Eyes, who was skilled in the magic mantra of illusion. He showed her the four oceans conjured by the mantra, and she drank its water and was satisfied. Similarly, the king also ordered all prisoners to be released. The king also satisfied the wishes of many people with generosity. Furthermore, he also fulfilled her wishes to see various pleasure gardens, etc. Sixth, the act of giving birth: Thus, after ten months in the womb, all the trees and flowers were extremely luxuriant, the birds chirped with joy, and the fruits of the Śāla tree ripened and drooped. When the waxing moon of the last spring month arrived, the great goddess Illusion thought, "I should stay in the garden shown by the gods." After informing the king, the king also agreed. So, she prepared to go to the Lumbini garden near the city of Devadaha, sitting on a chariot adorned with four kinds of jewels, surrounded by many maids. King Śuddhodana also set out from the city of Kapilavastu with four divisions of his army and proceeded to the Lumbini garden. Then, as it is said in other sutras, on the morning of the eighth day, when the constellation fell on the first pada of Viśākhā, it is said to be the time of birth. In any case, the mother looked around and saw the Aśoka tree in full bloom.

何以观之?当其欲以右手执彼树枝而诞生时,帝释天心想:此母具知羞耻,当设一方便。思已,遂降猛烈风雨,使众人星散。帝释天自身化为老妇之形,坐于其前。其后,菩提萨埵无损于母而诞生。如母之右胁破裂而出,譬如士夫开门,出至外已复闭门一般,诞生既毕,伤口之痕迹丝毫亦无。其后,帝释天欲以鹿皮袋执取菩提萨埵之身,为息灭帝释天之骄慢,以金刚之身加持之,使其不能执取而颤抖。世尊告之曰: कौशिक (藏文,梵文天城体:कौशिक,梵文罗马拟音:kauśika,汉语字面意思:憍尸迦)放我。菩提萨埵以羞惭庄严之故,乃着天衣而生,非是裸身。如是诞生之际,大地六种震动。光明大放,遍满一切世界。彼时,随即向四方各行七步,如是说道:此乃东方,当为涅槃之初。此乃南方,当成为一切众生之福田。此乃西方,乃我最后之生。此乃北方,当渡过有海。如是说。其后,自天空降下冷暖二水,灌于顶上而沐浴。诸天亦以白伞、拂尘、鲜花、香、衣物等供养,并奏乐。母之身前亦涌出大泉,于中沐浴。如是诞生之光芒,于持山(Riwokunzin,瑞卧衮钦)之洞穴中,离欲仙人与其外甥弟子弥坚一同禅定时,见洞穴为光明所遍满,弥坚问道:是诸日一时俱出耶?离欲仙人答道:

How to observe it? When she wished to hold the branch of that tree with her right hand and be born, Indra thought: This mother is endowed with a sense of shame, so a means must be devised. Having thought this, he sent a fierce wind and rain, causing the crowds to scatter. Indra himself transformed into the form of an old woman and sat in front of her. Thereafter, the Bodhisattva was born without harming his mother. He emerged from the mother's right side, as if a man opened a door, went outside, and then closed the door again. Once the birth was complete, there was not even the slightest sign of a wound. Then, Indra attempted to hold the Bodhisattva's body with a deerskin bag, but in order to subdue Indra's arrogance, he was blessed with a vajra body, so he could not hold him and began to tremble. The Lord said to him: कौशिक (Tibetan, Devanagari: कौशिक, Romanized Sanskrit: kauśika, Literal Chinese meaning: 憍尸迦) Let me go. Because the Bodhisattva was adorned with shame and modesty, he was born wearing divine garments, not naked. As soon as he was born, the great earth shook in six ways. A great light shone, pervading all the realms of the world. Immediately, he took seven steps in each of the four directions, saying: This is the east, I shall go to the beginning of Nirvana. This is the south, I shall become a field of merit for all beings. This is the west, this is my last birth. This is the north, I shall cross the ocean of existence. Thus he spoke. Then, a stream of water, both cool and warm, descended from the sky and poured over his head, bathing him. The gods also made offerings with white umbrellas, fly-whisks, flowers, incense, and garments, and music was played. A great spring also arose in front of the mother's body, in which she bathed. The light of that birth, in the cave of Mount Kunzin (Riwokunzin), the ascetic Nyonmongme (Free from Afflictions) was meditating with his nephew and disciple Michen, saw the cave filled with light, and Michen asked: Have all the suns risen at once? Nyonmongme replied:
