On that day, the Taoist Kāḷadevila finished the afternoon in the palace of King Suddhodana, immediately went to the heaven of the Thirty-Three Thousand Heavens to rest for lunch in a castle, to sit in meditation to enjoy the peace of mind in meditation; When the Taoist monk came out of his meditation to stand in front of the door, seeing King Sakka and the gods, the goddesses rejoiced and cheered in an unusual way, unlike usual, the Taoist asked:
- O gods, why are you so joyful and joyful today, shouting and singing with such extraordinary joy, can you tell the reason for the poor to hear?
The gods said:
- Dear Taoist, today the Crown Prince of King Suddhodana has been born. When the Crown Prince matures, he will give up his monastic home and become the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment, preaching the Dharma of Zhuan Falun to save sentient beings: Humans and gods and Brahmas have the opportunity to listen to the Dharma, then practice it. Following the righteous Dharma leads to the realization of the Truth of the Four Noble Truths, the attainment of the Four Noble Truths, the Four Noble Truths and Nirvana, the liberation of suffering from birth and death in the Three Realms.
That is the reason why we are extremely happy, joyfully shouting and singing such unusual songs!
After listening to the gods' reply like this, the Taoist Kāḷadevila immediately descended from the heavens of the Thirty-Three Heavens into the human realm, entered the palace of King Suddhodana; The King respectfully welcomed, invited to sit in a noble seat, after paying his respects, he sat down in a reasonable place. Then the ascetic Kāḷadevila asked:
- Hey, Great King, the poor man heard that the King's crown prince was born, the poor man would like to see the Prince.
King Suddhodana ordered the Prince to change his clothes, then asked the Prince to come out and pay homage to the Taoist Kāḷadevila. When he appeared in front of the ascetic Kāḷadevila, the Prince Bodhisattva immediately appeared and stood on the head of the Taoist Kāḷadevila with a steady posture.
The Taoist Kāḷadevila realized that the Prince Bodhisattva had extraordinary power, so the Taoist monk got up and moved to a low seat, giving the noble seat to the Bodhisattva. Prince.
King Suddhodana, seeing the extraordinary power of the Crown Prince Bodhisattva, made the King pay homage to the Crown Prince for the first time.
The ascetic Kāḷadevila smiled and cried
The ascetic Kāḷadevila attained the 8 jhānas and the five knowledges of the three worlds, had the special ability to see and know clearly in the past 40 aeons, and in the future forty aeons, thus including 80 aeons. The Taoist Kāḷadevila used his clairvoyant wisdom to see clearly that in the future the Prince Bodhisattva would have all 32 major good marks and 80 minor good signs, his wisdom clearly seeing and knowing that:
"There is no doubt that this Crown Prince Bodhisattva will definitely become the Perfectly Enlightened Buddha."
The ascetic Kāḷadevila generated goodwill and was very happy, so he smiled.
Then the Taoist Kāḷadevila examined his condition and saw clearly that:
“I did not have the good fortune to meet the Buddha and not listen to his Dharma; because, I will die before the Crown Prince Bodhisattva becomes the Fully Enlightened Buddha. Furthermore, after I die, due to the power of the fourth formless jhāna: Non-perception, non-perception, the jhāna will result in rebirth in the realm of formless non-perception, non-perception, with a long lifespan of 84,000 thousand. great aeon. Since the immaterial realm has only four mental aggregates, the immaterial Brahma realm has no eyes to see the Buddha, no ears to hear the Buddha's true dharma when he appears in the world.
When the Taoist Kāḷadevila knew that he had no good fortune to meet the Buddha and could not hear his true Dharma, he felt sorry for himself, so he cried.
King Suddhodana saw the ascetic Kāladevila smiling, sometimes crying, and asked:
"Dear Master, has there been any disaster for my crown prince?" White Sir.
The ascetic Kāladevila said:
- Dear King, no disaster will happen to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince will definitely become the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment.
The poor Dao knew this, so he smiled and the poor Daoist also knew that he did not have good conditions to meet the Buddha and listen to his righteous Dharma.
Naming Ceremony of Crown Prince Bodhisattva
Prince Bodhisattva was born 5 days ago, then King Suddhodana solemnly held a hair-washing ceremony and named the Prince Bodhisattva. King Suddhodana ordered to invite 108 Brahmins who understood the three sets of books of divination (according to Brahmin tradition) to the palace to treat them with a special dish "rice cooked with pure fresh milk".
Among those 108 Brahmins, there are 8 great Brahmins, namely the Brahmin Rāma, the Brahmin Dhaja, the Brahmin Lakkhaṇa, the Brahmin Jotimanta, the Brahmin Yañña, the Brahmin Subhoja, the Brahmin Suyāma and the Brahmin Sudatta; After looking at the generals, he saw that the Bodhisattva had 32 major good generals and 80 minor good generals. Of the eight great Brahmins, seven of them put up two fingers and affirmatively said: The Prince is the One who has all of these major and minor good generals:
– If you live in a palace, you will become the Holy King who rules over the world with 4 seas as the boundary.
- If you leave home and go forth, you will become the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment.
There was only one of the youngest brahmins, of the Koṇḍanna lineage named Brahmin Sudatta, who, after looking closely at the appearance of the Crown Prince Bodhisattva, only raised one finger and made a decisive judgment that:
- The Prince has all the main good generals and these minor good generals, the Crown Prince cannot live in the palace, the Prince will give up his home to go ordained, then he will definitely become a Righteous Buddha. Equiangular.
All the great Brahmins also agreed that:
"The Crown Prince will definitely become the Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment."
During the ceremony of washing his hair and naming the Prince Bodhisattva, all the great Brahmins agreed that: Prince Bodhisattva will definitely become a Buddha of Perfect Enlightenment, which will bring benefits. benefits, evolution, and happiness for sentient beings in the three worlds (the three worlds according to the Pāḷi noun called attha) and will certainly be achieved as they wish (the wish according to the Pāḷi noun called siddha). These two nouns are combined together to form the name of the Crown Prince Bodhisattva, SIDDHATTHA (SIDDHA + ATTHA) which means the attainment of benefit, or the One who brings about the attainment of all benefits for sentient beings.

The Bodhisattva of Right Enlightenment Prince Siddhattha was born on the seventh day, and Queen Mahāmayādevī returned to heaven, because she had reached the end of her life. Chief Queen Mahāmayādevī lived for 56 years, 4 months and 27 days in the human realm.

The gods in this fourth heaven have a lifespan of 4,000 years, compared to the human realm of 576 million years; because 1 day and 1 night in this Tusita heaven equals 400 years in the human realm.
