1.84

At that time, one should further reflect, saying: 'Whose image and marks are these? They are the image and marks of the past Śākyamuni Buddha. Just as I now see the form of the Buddha image, the image does not come, nor do I go.' In this way, with mental imaging, one sees the past Buddha, who, when first descending his spirit, shook heaven and earth. He has the thirty-two marks of a great man: first, the soles of his feet stand level and flat; second, the thousand-spoked wheels on the soles of his feet; third, long and fine fingers; fourth, broad heels; fifth, webbed fingers and toes; sixth, high, level, and fine insteps; seventh, calves like an aineya antelope; eighth, standing upright with hands reaching past the knees; ninth, male organ enclosed in a sheath; tenth, body proportioned like a nyagrodha tree; eleventh, a single hair growing from each pore; twelfth, body hairs growing upward and curling to the right; thirteenth, body color surpassing fine gold; fourteenth, bodily radiance extending one zhang around him; fifteenth, thin and delicate skin; sixteenth, seven places fully rounded; seventeenth, armpits flat and fine; eighteenth, upper body like a lion; nineteenth, body large, fine, upright, and straight; twentieth, rounded and fine shoulders; twenty-first, forty teeth; twenty-second, teeth white, even, close, uniform, and deeply rooted; twenty-third, four canine teeth white and large; twenty-fourth, square cheeks like a lion; twenty-fifth, supreme sense of taste among tastes; twenty-sixth, tongue large, broad, long, and thin; twenty-seventh, Brahmā voice deep and resonant; twenty-eighth, voice like a kalaviṅka; twenty-ninth, eyes deep dark blue; thirtieth, eyelashes like a bull king; thirty-first, uṣṇīṣa atop the head formed of flesh and bone; thirty-second, white hair tuft between the eyebrows long, fine, and curling to the right.
