2.187

"He demonstrates entering physical deformity yet is complete with all major marks and secondary signs to adorn himself. He demonstrates entering low and base status yet is born into the Buddha lineage, complete with all merits." Externally he manifests physical deformity; inwardly he perfects the marks of Dharma. Externally he demonstrates low status; inwardly he has planted virtues from past lives, originally born into the Buddha lineage. "He demonstrates entering weakness, emaciation, and ugliness, yet obtains the body of Nārāyaṇa, which all sentient beings delight to see." Zhao says: "Nārāyaṇa is the name of a heavenly champion; his appearance is upright and wonderful, his determination and strength heroic."
