Kalpa Sūtra
In that period, at that time, Arhat Rsabha of Kosala, in the fourth month of summer, in the seventh fortnight, on the fourth day in the dark half of Asādha, having spent a time-span of 33 sägaropamas in the celestial abode named Sarvārthasiddhi, descended, and as he had already exhausted there his intake, his life-span and the use of his physical body, at the confluence of the two halves of the (aforesaid) night, he entered into the womb of Māru devi, consort of patriarch Näbhi, in the land of the Ikşvākus, in the region named Bhāratavarsa, in this isle named Jambūdvipa.

Arhat Rşabha was the master of three types of knowledge. Knew he, 'I shall descend' ; knew he not at the time of descending ; knew he, 'I have descended'. The night during which Arhat Rşabha of Kośala entered as an embryo into the womb of Maru devi, consort of patriarch Nabhi, during that night, she, lying half asleep and half awake, saw 14 great dreams, noble, beautiful, blissful, blest, auspicious and fortunate. They are : an elephant, an ox, etc., [all as aforesaid, difference being, at first an ox, with its face uplifted, as if ready to make a charge, and an elephant last of all, Märu devi narrated the dreams to patriarch Nábhi. There being at that time no interpreters of the dreams, the patriarch himself interpreted them.] 207
