When the Bodhisatta was emerging from his mother's womb, a great radiant light surpassing even the radiance of the gods shown forth into the world. And in the black, gloomy regions of darkness between the galaxies, where even the light of our moon and sun, powerful and majestic though they are, cannot reach, even there that great, radiant light shone. And the beings who lived in those regions of darkness became aware of each other because of that radiance, and they said: 'Behold, it seems that other beings live here also.
