3.5

(2. Jiayin) On the eighth day of the second month, the Bhagavān was born in Kapilavastu in Lumbinī Park beneath a śāla tree, emerging from the right flank of his mother, Queen Māyā. His clan was Kṣatriya; his father was Heavenly King Śuddhodana, and his mother was Mahāmāyā. At his birth, nine dragons spouted water, and having bathed in a golden basin, he walked seven paces in all directions and said of himself: "I have received this final body; in the heavens and beneath the heavens, I alone am supreme." Dignified with primary marks and secondary signs, he was endowed with the thirty-two marks of a great man. The various sūtras differ (here relying on one account: the thirty-two are: 1. level and full soles of the feet; 2. thousand-spoked wheel markings; 3. hands soft as tūla cotton; 4. webbed fingers and toes like a goose king; 5. slender and long fingers; 6. full heels; 7. high insteps; 8. long and straight arms; 9. round and full calves like the aiṇeya antelope king; 10. concealed private parts like an elephant or horse king; 11. fine hairs blue-black and curling to the right; 12. body hair bristling upward; 13. golden skin; 14. sleek and smooth skin free of blemish; 15. seven areas fully rounded; 16. extraordinary shoulders and neck; 17. straight chest and armpits; 18. red and full demeanor; 19. dignified bodily presence; 20. body proportions round as a banyan tree; 21. lion-like jaw and chest; 22. constant light extending one fathom; 23. white, even, and closely spaced teeth; 24. bright and sharp canine teeth; 25. always attaining the supreme taste; 26. tongue covering the face; 27. Brahmā-voice like a kalaviṅka; 28. deep-blue eyelashes; 29. eyes like an ox king; 30. face like a full moon; 31. white hair between the eyebrows; 32. uṣṇīṣa like a heavenly parasol. There are further eighty secondary marks, fully as expounded in the Prajñāpāramitā and other scriptures).
