19 Then, O bhikkhus, the bodhisatta Vipassi, having passed away from the Tusita group, mindful and contemplative, descended into his mother's womb. This here, is the natural course.

20 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta, having passed away from the Tusita group, descends into his mother's womb, then in the world with its devas, maras and brahmas, together with the population of samanas and brahmanas, devas and humans, an immeasurable vast radiance becomes manifest, really surpassing the heavenly splendor of the devas. Even those spaces inbetween worlds that are void, in utter darkness, pitch black darkness, where even the radiance of these moon and sun, of such power, of such mighty splendor, cannot reach, even there, an immeasurable vast radiance becomes manifest, really surpassing the heavenly splendor of the devas. Even those beings that have arisen there perceive one another by that radiance [thinking]: “Apparently sir, there are also other beings that have arisen here.” And this ten thousand world system shakes, quakes and trembles. That an immeasurable and vast radiance becomes manifest in the world, really surpassing the heavenly splendor of the devas, this here is the natural course.

21 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta descends into his mother's womb, four sons of devas undertake the guarding of the four directions [thinking]: “Let not the bodhisatta or the bodhisatta's mother be troubled by any Human or non-human or anything.” This here, is the natural course.

22 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta descends into his mother's womb, the bodhisatta's mother becomes naturally virtuous, abstaining from killing living beings, abstaining from taking what is not given, abstaining from misconduct in sensual pleasures, abstaining from false speech, abstaining from drinking distilled and fermented liquor that are the bases for negligence. This here, is the natural course.

23 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta descends into his mother's womb, the bodhisatta's mother's mind does not arise concerning the cords of sensual pleasures in men. The bodhisatta's mother becomes one not to be transgressed against by any man with a lustful mind. This here, is the natural course.

24 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta descends into his mother's womb, the bodhisatta's mother becomes a gainer of the five cords of sensual pleasures. She indeed amuses herself being furnished and endowed with the five cords of sensual pleasures. This here, is the natural course.

25 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta descends into his mother's womb, there isn't any affliction that arises in the bodhisatta's mother. The bodhisatta's mother comes to be at ease, without any bodily tiredness. And the bodhisatta's mother sees the bodhisatta within her womb, complete with all his limbs, not deficient in any sense faculty. Suppose, O bhikkhus, that there were a beautiful beryl gem, flawless, with eight facets, of excellent workmanship, finely crafted, transparent, bright, placid, perfect in every way, strung therein with either a blue or yellow or red or white or brown thread. Of them a man with good eyes having held it in his hands would review thus: “This beautiful beryl gem, flawless, with eight facets, of excellent workmanship, finely crafted, transparent, bright, placid, perfect in every way, is strung therein with either a blue or yellow or red or white or brown thread.” So too, O bhikkhus, when the bodhisatta descends into his mother's womb, there isn't any affliction that arises in the bodhisatta's mother. The bodhisatta's mother comes to be at ease, without any bodily tiredness. And the bodhisatta's mother sees the bodhisatta within her womb, complete with all his limbs, not deficient in any sense faculty. This here, is the natural course.

26 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta is seven days old, the bodhisatta's mother passes away and arises in the Tusita group. This here, is the natural course.

27 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that while other women, having carried about the embryo in their stomach for nine or ten months, they give birth, it is indeed not so for the bodhisatta's mother giving birth to the bodhisatta. The bodhisatta's mother, having carried about the bodhisatta in her stomach for exactly ten months, she gives birth to the bodhisatta. This here, is the natural course.

28 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that while other women, having sat down or laid down, they give birth, it is indeed not so for the bodhisatta's mother giving birth to the bodhisatta. The bodhisatta's mother, having just stood up, she gives birth to the bodhisatta. This here, is the natural course.

29 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when bodhisatta comes out of his mother's womb, first, devas recieve him, afterwards humans. This here, is the natural course.

30 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, when the bodhisatta comes out of his mother's womb, the bodhisatta does not even touch the earth. The four sons of devas, having received him, place him in front of his mother, saying: “Be happy, O queen! A son of great influence has arisen for you.” This here, is the natural course.

31 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta comes out of his mother's womb, he certainly comes out clean, unsmeared by amniotic fluids, unsmeared by phlegm, unsmeared by blood, unsmeared by any impurities, purified and clean. Just as, O bhikkhus, a precious gem were to be put down on a Kasi cloth. The precious gem will neither smear the Kasi cloth, nor would the Kasi cloth smear the precious gem. What is the reason for that? Purity of both. So too, O bhikkhus, when the bodhisatta comes out of his mother's womb, he certainly comes out clean, unsmeared by amniotic fluids, unsmeared by phlegm, unsmeared by blood, unsmeared by any impurities, purified and clean. This here, is the natural course.

32 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta comes out of his mother's womb, two streams of water become manifest in the sky, one cool, one warm, with which the bodhisatta and his mother bathe. This here, is the natural course.

33 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that after the birth of the bodhisatta, having placed his feet evenly on the ground, facing north, with a white parasol held over him, he takes seven steps, surveys all directions, and speaks these words: “I am the foremost of the world, I am the best of the world, I am the most excellent of the world, this is my last birth, now there is no more future being.” This here, is the natural course.

34 This is the natural course, O bhikkhus, that when the bodhisatta comes out of his mother's womb, then in the world with its devas, maras and brahmas, together with the population of samanas and brahmanas, devas and humans, an immeasurable vast radiance becomes manifest, really surpassing the heavenly splendor of the devas. Even those spaces inbetween worlds that are void, in utter darkness, pitch black darkness, where even the radiance of these moon and sun, of such power, of such mighty splendor, cannot reach, even there, an immeasurable vast radiance becomes manifest, really surpassing the heavenly splendor of the devas. Even those beings that have arisen there perceive one another by that radiance [thinking]: “Apparently sir, there are also other beings that have arisen here.” And this ten thousand world system shakes, quakes and trembles. That an immeasurable and vast radiance becomes manifest in the world, really surpassing the heavenly splendor of the devas, this here is the natural course.
