Lakkhanasutta 2.12

On this it is said:

“With not a glare or glance askance,

nor averting of the eyes;

straightforward, he reached out straightforwardly,

looking at people with kindly eyes.

In good rebirths he enjoyed the fruit

and result, rejoicing there.

But here he has a cow’s eyelashes,

and indigo eyes so fair to see.

Many soothsayers, men clever

and learned in prognostic texts,

expert in cow-like lashes, indicated

he’d be looked upon with kindly eyes.

Even as a householder he’d be regarded kindly,

beloved of the people.

But if he becomes an ascetic, not lay,

as destroyer of sorrow he’ll be loved by many.”
