Mahāpadānasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Dīghanikāya · Mahāvagga · Vol. 10 · Section 18

[18] Bhikkhus, this is the natural order: when the Bodhisatta (bodhisatta) has descended into his mother's womb, no affliction whatsoever arises for the Bodhisatta's mother; the Bodhisatta's mother is at ease, her body unfatigued; and the Bodhisatta's mother sees the Bodhisatta within her womb, complete in all his limbs, major and minor, with faculties unimpaired. Just as, bhikkhus, a beryl gem — beautiful, of genuine quality, eight-faceted, well worked, clear, limpid, endowed with every excellent quality — through which a thread is strung, blue, yellow, red, white, or pale yellow; and a man with good eyesight, having taken it in his hands, might examine it: 'This beryl gem is beautiful, of genuine quality, eight-faceted, well worked, clear, limpid, endowed with every excellent quality; and through it a thread is strung, blue, yellow, red, white, or pale yellow' — even so, bhikkhus, when the Bodhisatta has descended into his mother's womb, no affliction whatsoever arises for the Bodhisatta's mother; the Bodhisatta's mother is at ease, her body unfatigued; and the Bodhisatta's mother sees the Bodhisatta within her womb, complete in all his limbs, major and minor, with faculties unimpaired. This is the natural order in this case.
