Explanation

Gautama Buddha's mother was Queen Maya (Maya Devi), who died seven days after his birth. This is a well-documented historical fact in Buddhist tradition. Vaishnavi and Sanghamitra (Sanghamita) were other significant Buddhist figures but not his mother - Sanghamitra was actually Emperor Ashoka's daughter and a Buddhist missionary.
