Language
English

5.2

A perfect, sublime, noble, supreme nose,⁶¹³
The always smooth nose of all the jinas.

“ ‘From each and every pore there
Rises a hair that curls to the right,
Growing as a dark blue curl,
Blue and adorning, like a peacock’s neck.

“ ‘As soon as he was born, his body shone,
Filling⁶¹⁴ all worlds in the ten directions with light,
Ending the endless sufferings in the three worlds,
And satisfying beings with every happiness.⁶¹⁵

“ ‘He created an accumulation of all happiness
For the beings in the hells, the animals,
The pretas, devas,⁶¹⁶ and human beings,
And brought to an end all lower existences.

“ ‘His excellent color is beautiful like gold;
His body resembles purified gold.
The Sugata’s⁶¹⁷ face is like a stainless moon;
It is a beautiful and stainless face.

“ ‘His smooth body has limbs that are like a youth’s.⁶¹⁸
He walks and strides like a supreme lion.
His powerful⁶¹⁹ arms hang down very long
Like vines on a sal tree moved by the breeze.⁶²⁰

“ ‘He shines light rays as a fathom-wide aura;
He is as bright as a thousand suns.⁶²¹
The stainless body of the lord of munis⁶²²
Illuminates all of the infinite realms.⁶²³

“ ‘He is shining with light, like the moon⁶²⁴
In endless hundreds of thousands of realms.
All of their lights cease to be because
They are brightly illuminated by the Buddha.

“ ‘The sun of the Buddha is the lamp of the world.
The Buddha’s sun is like a hundred thousand suns,⁶²⁵
And within hundreds of thousands of realms⁶²⁶
Beings can see the sun of the Tathāgata.⁶²⁷

“ ‘His body is formed from⁶²⁸ a hundred thousand merits.
His body is adorned by all good qualities.
The Jina’s arms are like the trunk of an elephant king.⁶²⁹
His supreme hands and feet are stainless and shining.⁶³⁰
