1.32.3
Tassimāni sattaratanāni bhavanti.
'"And what, my lord, are the thirty-two marks of the ' Great Man 1 wherewith endowed this child hath two careers open to him, and only two: — that of the Lord of the Wheel... that of Buddha Supreme?
' " This babe, my lord, has feet with level tread 2. That this is so counts to him as one of the marks of a Great Man.
"'On the soles of the babe's feet wheels appear with a thousand spokes, with tyre and hub, in every way complete. That this is so counts to him as one of the marks of a Great Man.
' " This babe has projecting heels [3 ],
He is long in the fingers and long in the toes 4,
Soft and tender in hands and feet,
With hands and feet like a net 5.
