ते देववर्णा उभये समागता बुद्धो च बुद्धस्य पिता च राजा ।
उपशोभति सालवने निषण्णो चन्द्रो यथा अभ्रगणा प्रमुक्तो ॥ १४६ ॥

te devavarṇā ubhaye samāgatā buddho ca buddhasya pitā ca rājā |
upaśobhati sālavane niṣaṇṇo candro yathā abhragaṇā pramukto || 146 ||

These two, of celestial beauty, the Buddha and the Buddha’s father, the king, met together. And as the Buddha sat in the sal-grove, he was all radiant like the moon emerging from the clouds. (146)
