The appraisal says: The divine light and golden body were the auspicious signs of a Buddhist Mahāsattva. He opened an auspicious era in the midst of the prolonged distress of the Five Dynasties, and stepped onto the great throne at a time when the whole world yearned for good order.

Had he not been the manifested birth of a Buddhist Mahāsattva, who could have accomplished this?
