Sutra references for Gotama's awakening

Talisman

I'm looking for specific references detailing the events surrounding the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment. I'm planning a tattoo based upon the imagery therein.

Thanks in advance.

Shoot, no one has answered this yet? Odd... this would be one for Dhamma Datu though. I've read the Suttas, but I don't have a mind for remembering exact names of them. You can watch the Little Buddha when they show the Buddhas enlightenment, when he battles Mara it's a faithful representation.

I really enjoyed Little Buddha!:)
Is there any others that people would suggest?

153. Through many a birth in samsara have I wandered in vain, seeking in the builder of this house. Repeated birth is indeed suffering!

154. O house-builder, you are seen! You will not build this house again. For your rafters are broken and your ridgepole shattered. My mind has reached the Unconditioned; I have attained the destruction of craving. [13]



13.(vv. 153-154) According to the commentary, these verses are the Buddha's "Song of Victory," his first utterance after his Enlightenment. The house is individualized existence in samsara, the house-builder craving, the rafters the passions and the ridge-pole ignorance.
