問曰。人趣形貌云何。答曰。其形上立。然贍部洲人面如車箱。毘提訶人面如半月。瞿陀尼人面如滿月。拘盧洲人面如方池。

> Question: What is the appearance of the human destiny? Answer: Their forms stand upright. However, the faces of people in Jambudvīpa are like the body of a carriage; the faces of people in Videha are like the half-moon; the faces of people in Godānīya are like the full moon; and the faces of people in Kuru continent are like a square pool.
