Kalpa Sutra
dark half of Caitra, on the exhaustion of his intake, life-span and physical form (in the celestial abode), and when the moon was in conjunction with the asterism Viśákhá, at the confluence of the two halves of the night, entered as an embryo in the womb of Vāmā-devi, the consort of king Aśvasena, in this very island named Jambūdvipa, in the region named Bharatavarsa, in the city of Varanasi.

पासे णं अरहा पुरिसदाणीए तिण्णाणोवगए थावि होथ्था । तं जहा-चइस्सामि त्ति जाणइ चयमाणे ण जाणइ चुएमि त्ति जाणइ। तेणं चेव अभिलावणं सुविण-दसण-विहाणेणं सव्व जाव..णियग-गिहं अणुपविट्ठा (सयं भवणं अणुपविठ्ठा) जाव सुहंसुहेणं तं गम्भं परिवहइ ।
The celebrated Arhat Pārśva was in possession of three types of knowledge. They were : he knew - 'I shall descend'; knew he not at the time of descending; knew - I have descended.' [Repeat the words previously written after making necessary substitutions, using at appropriate places Pārsva' in place of *Mahāvīra', till entered into her chamber,... till comfortably carried her unborn child.]

At that time, in that period, the celebrated Arhat Pårśva, on the completion of full 9 months and 71 day-nights, was born, in the second month of winter, in the third fortnight, on the tenth day of the dark half of Pausa, at the confluence of the two halves of the night, when the moon was in conjunction with the asterism Višākhā, in a perfectly healthy state, as a son unto Vāmā-devī, who herself was in a healthy state. 152
[जं रयणि चणं अरहा पुरिसादाणीए जाए तं रयणि च णं बहूहिं देवेहिं देवीहि य उवयंतेहि य उप्पयंतेहि य उज्जौविया वि होथ्था।] जं रयणि च णं पासे अरहा पुरिसादाणीए जाए तं रयणि च णं बहुहिं देवेहिं देवीहि य उवयंतेहि
