Kalpa Sūtra
[...eternal practice to transfer from Devānanda's
to Trisalā's womb ..to Harinegamesi, said thus] “In such a situation, it has been the eternal practice of the Sakra, the king of gods and the highest of gods, in all (the three) periods, past, present and future, to have the arhats or the bhagavats transferred from such low families, mean families, poor families, beggar families or miserly families to high families, noble families, royal families, Jhatr-ksatriya families, families in the race of Hari, or any other of pure breed and pure descent (who are in enjoyment of a kingdom and are ruling over it). So, now, it is my bounden duty that I transfer the embryo of Sramaņa Bhagavan Mahāvīra, the last of the tirthankaras, whose advent had been determined by the tirthankaras preceding him, from the womb of brāhmaṇi Devānandā of the line of Jalandhara, wife of brahmin Rşabhadatta of the Kodála line in the brahmin city of Kundagrāma, and lodge the embryo in the womb of the kșatriya-lady Trisalā of the line of Vasistha, wife of ksatriya Siddhartha, in the clan of the Jhatr-ksatriyas, in the line of Kāśyapa, in the kșatriya city of Kuņpapura. And also do I transfer the embryo from the womb of ksatriyāņi
Trišalā, and lodge it in the womb of brāhmaṇi Devānandă of the Jalandhara line."
Thus decided he, and then looked around and called the deva Harinegamesi, the commander of the divine infantry. Having called deva Harinegamesi, said he thus.
