गय उसभ सीह अभिसेय दाम ससि दिणयरं झयं कुम्भं । पउम-सर सागर विमाण-भवण रयणुच्चय सिहिं च ॥ तं एएसि सामी अोरालाणं चोद्द-सण्हं महा-सुमिणाणं के मण्णे कल्लाणे फल. वित्ति-विसेसे भविस्सइ ।

“My dear ! To-day, I, while lying on the bed, that had a sidepillow of full human length, with two pillows at two ends, with the two ends raised (a little), and hollow in the centre, soft to lie on like the sand on the bank of the Gangā, covered with a beautiful linen, decorated with a well-wrought towel, covered with red curtains, soft like fur, cotton or butter, and sprayed with the best and most fragrant flower-powder, I, half-asleep and half-awake, at the confluence of the two halves of the night, woke up on seeing these noble dreams. They are: ____ an elephant. an ox, a lion, anointment, a garland, the moon, the sun, an ensign, a jar, a lotus lake, a sea, a celestial abode, a heap of gems and a burning flame.
"Oh my dear : Tell me what blissful outcome is portended by these fourteen noble and great dreams.”

Then, on hearing these words of ksatriyani Trifalā, and understanding them, king Siddhārtha became happy and pleased, very much delighted, his heart expanded with glee and his poreholes became thrilled like the petals of the delightful nipa blossoms when hurt by rain drops, and welcomed/received the dreams. Having received them, he was immersed in his thought. Then he determined the significance of the dreams by his natural talent and analytical faculty, whereon addressing ksatriyāņi Trišalā with kind ... till measured, sweet and soft words, said he thus. 50
