They are like blossomed blue lotuses.
His broad, excellent tongue is the color of a red lotus,
Glowing like a red lotus, like red-lotus anthers.¹⁵⁸

“ ‘The ūrṇā hair on his face is the color of a conch or lotus root;¹⁵⁹
It curls to the right and is the color of white beryl.
The Muni’s body¹⁶⁰ is like a sliver of the moon,
The Muni’s crescent eyes¹⁶¹ are the color of a carpenter bee.¹⁶²

“ ‘His face has a high nose that is always prominent¹⁶³
And is soft and an excellent color, like bright gold.
He always, continuously, has the perfect nose¹⁶⁴ of all the jinas,
Which is soft, sublime, supreme, and noble.

“ ‘From each and every pore there
Rises a hair that curls to the right,
A dark blue, shining, gleaming curl,
Blue and beautiful like a peacock’s neck.

“ ‘As soon as he was born, his body shone,
Filling¹⁶⁵ all worlds in the ten directions with light,
Ending the endless sufferings in the three worlds,
And satisfying beings with every happiness.

“ ‘He satisfied with happiness
The beings in the hells, animals,
Pretas, devas,¹⁶⁶ and human beings,
And brought to an end all lower existences.

“ ‘His light was the excellent color of gold;
His body shone like purified gold.
His perfectly stainless face is a sugata moon,¹⁶⁷
His stainless mouth smiling beautifully.

“ ‘His body and limbs are soft like a young boy’s.
He has a perfect, powerful stride like a lion’s.
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
