Art. XXIII.?The Nativity of the Buddha. By Robert Chalmers.

In fulfilment of the undertaking given by me on p. 387 of

the J.R.A.S. for 1894, I submit the text of an unpublished Sutta from the Majjhima Nikaya dealing with the marvels

and mysteries' of the Buddha's nativity. Buddhaghosa's

commentary on the Sutta is also given, though the absence

of MSS. for collation leaves the readings in many instances

far from satisfactory to me. I hope in an early number

of the Journal to have an opportunity of discussing the

subject-matter in the light of the Lalita Vistara and the

Nidana-kathu of the Jataka.

AcCHARlYABBHUTA-SUTTAM.
