And there: reasoning about that newborn infant, 'He is fashioned indeed from the essence of tamāla leaves fragrant with musk; he is anointed indeed with beauty that holds sway over all; he is massaged with the splendour of his own body; he is bathed in the nectar of radiance issuing from his own face; he is smeared with the auspicious sandal-paste pounded together with the camphor of his mother’s gaze; he is adorned with his own form tinged with natural loveliness,' all [the women], having come together, looked upon that child again, whose limbs were tender as the muddy extract of musk from a species of deer that has enjoyed tamāla leaves, whose curled locks seemed thoroughly ground by his own hands, who revealed the disc of the moon of his face, who clenched his hands into fists as if to attract all minds, and who moved his lotus hands and feet like ripples of dark aguru from the Yamunā.
