When one hundred thousand revolutions of the world were completed, 

 each occupying four Sanklu/as, then the devout worshipper obtained 

 the object of earnest desire ; and the sublime Thik D'hat, (Siod'har- 

 t'ha) who is acquainted with the secrets of futurity, obtained supreme 

 felicity, tranquillity devoid of care, and self absorption. After the puro 

 Deva Nat'ha had pcissed numerous ages in the possession of supreme 

 felicity, meditating on the four laws of truth, when the period of the 

 divine favour was nearly completed ; in the excellent and populous 

 region oi Kapila, Suk-t6 (Sudd'houana) became his beloved father, 

 and Sri Maha Maya, his venerable mother, became pregnant of a 

 perfect conception. When this conception took place, the strong 

 earth was agitated upwards and downwards, trembling and shaking. 

 After ten months pregnancy, supporting her swelling womb with her 

 hand, his mother Maya was walking for recreation in a deep forest of 

 Angarang trees, dilifusing around an exquisite odour. Walking up and 

 down in a pleasant garden, reciting the divine names on her rosary, 

 and radiating in brilliant beauty, and accompanied by two younger 

 sisters of the same complexion, unable any longer to support the burden 

 of GoTAMA, (Gautama) she leaned on the shoulders of her two 

 younger sisters. Within a deep forest, in a grove of Angarang trees, 

 which diffused around an exquisite odour; his mother Maya, tirmly 

 grasping the branches with her hands, and standing erect ou her feet, 

 brought forth the deity Gotamu.
