गत्वा तस्मिं स्त्रीभिः सार्धं प्रविचरति मुदितसुखिता वने वनलोलया सा चोद्यानं पर्यण्वन्ती तरुणलतकिशलयधरां ददर्श ऽथ लुम्बिनीं ।
तस्याः शाखां गृह्यान परमरतिसुखमुदिता सलील-अवस्थिता सा तत्र शाखां रक्षन्ती जनयि जिनम् अजितमनसं महामुनिम् उत्तमं ॥ ४३ ॥

gatvā tasmiṃ strībhiḥ sārdhaṃ pravicarati muditasukhitā vane vanalolayā sā codyānaṃ paryaṇvantī taruṇalatakiśalayadharāṃ dadarśa 'tha lumbinīṃ |
tasyāḥ śākhāṃ gṛhyāna paramaratisukhamuditā salīla-avasthitā sā tatra śākhāṃ rakṣantī janayi jinam ajitamanasaṃ mahāmunim uttamaṃ || 43 ||

She went, and wandered forth with her women, roaming the forest, glad and happy and eager. While she paced the forest, she espied a lumbini tree bearing fresh creepers and shoots, and, in the rapture of perfect joy and gladness she grasped a branch of it, and playfully lingered there. As she held the branch she gave birth to the Conqueror of the unconquered mind, the great supreme seer. (43)
