Jones, J.J. (trans.) (1949–56). The Mahāvastu (3 vols.) in Sacred Books of the Buddhists. London: Luzac & Co.

It's not a Mahayana text, however. It is attributed to the "Lokottaravādins belonging to the Mahāsaṅghikas".

Subject: [INDOLOGY] MAHAVASTU-ENGLISH VERSION

To All,
Is there any English Translation of the Mahayana text MAHAVASTU available? This being the book which contains siginificant references about Siddhartha Gautam Buddha'a Birth.
