The B. S. itself lays down some of the characteristic signs of the best type of men viz. Mālavya in the verse—Mālavyo nāganaso.... etc., etc., which supports this conclusion. Dr. Bannerjea also (cf. p. 312) supports this very conclusion that the physical features of Mālavya, as enumerated by Varāhamihira, contain several of the major Mahāpuruṣa-lakṣaṇas, which are also characteristic signs of a Buddha or a god.
