2. Queen Maya’s dream is explained

And the next day the queen awoke, and told the dream to the king. And the king caused sixty-four eminent Brahmans to be summoned. . . . He told them the dream and asked them what would come of it. “Be not anxious, great king!” said the Brahmans. “A child has planted itself inside the womb of your queen. . . . You will have a son. And he, if he continue to live the household life, will become a great monarch, but if he leave the household life and retire from the world, he will become a Buddha, and roll back the clouds of sin and folly of this world.”
