by Émile Senart | 1882 | 56,574 words
This is the Sanskrit Mahavastu: a lengthy work on Buddhist teachings and narratives belonging to the school of early Buddhism (Mahasanghika).

Verse 34.97
यथ वैडूर्यस्य मणि स्फाटिकसमुद्गे कटि-उत्संगस्मिं ।
निहितो स्या एवम् एव बोधिसत्वं पश्यति माता ।
कुक्षिं ओभासेन्तं विग्रहं इव जातरूपस्य ॥ ९७ ॥
yatha vaiḍūryasya maṇi sphāṭikasamudge kaṭi-utsaṃgasmiṃ |
nihito syā evam eva bodhisatvaṃ paśyati mātā |
kukṣiṃ obhāsentaṃ vigrahaṃ iva jātarūpasya || 97 ||
Just as though a gem of beryl in a crystal casket were placed in her curving lap, so does his mother see the Bodhisattva like a body of pure gold illumining her womb. (97)
