放眉間白毫(胡刀反莊子䟽云毛之秀者曰毫玉篇云毫毛長也觀佛三昧經為太子時舒長五尺樹下長一丈四尺五寸及成佛已長一丈五尺放之圓卷如秋滿月分明皎潔色類珂雪)。

Emitted from between the eyebrows a white ūrṇā-hair (fang meijian baihao): (hu + dao [háo]). The commentary on the Zhuangzi says: "The finest of hairs is called hao." The Yupian says: "A hao is a long hair." The Sūtra on the Samādhi of the Contemplation of the Buddha states that when he was the crown prince it stretched out to five feet long; beneath the [bodhi] tree it was one zhang, four feet, and five inches long; and upon becoming a Buddha it was one zhang and five feet long. When released, it curls in a circle like the autumn full moon, distinct, bright, and pure, its color resembling mother-of-pearl and snow.
