We are told that he was golden-hued,⁶⁶ that his voice had the eight qualities of the Brahmassāra⁶⁷—fluency, intelligibility, sweetness, audibility, continuity, distinctness, depth and resonance—that he had a fascinating personality—he was described by his opponents as seductive⁶⁸—that he was handsome, perfect alike in complexion and stature and noble of presence.⁶⁹ He had a unique reputation as a teacher and trainer of the human heart. He was endowed with the thirty-two marks of the Mahāpurisa.⁷⁰ There is a legend that Mahā Kassapa, though slightly shorter, resembled the Buddha in appearance.⁷¹ - [Previous: v1.c14.1010](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.1010) - [Next: v1.c14.1012](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.1012) - [Up: v1.c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.1011](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.1011) · Pramāṇa
