His broad, excellent tongue is the color of a red lotus,
Glowing like a red lotus, like red-lotus anthers.¹⁵⁸

He has long hands and very long arms
Like vines on a sal tree moved by the breeze.
“ ‘He has a fathom-wide aura that radiates light;
He is as bright as a thousand suns.
The stainless, supreme body of the lord of munis
Illuminates all of the infinite realms.
“ ‘A multitude of night-bringing¹⁶⁸ moons and suns,
In endless hundreds of thousands of realms,
All become eclipsed by
The brilliant light of the Buddha.
“ ‘In endless hundreds of thousands of realms
