These are length of life in the epoch in which each is born, the height of his body, his social rank (some are born as khattiyas, others as brahmins), the length of his austerities, the aura of his body (thus, in the case of Maṅgala, his aura spread throughout the ten thousand world systems, while that of Gotama extended only one fathom¹¹); the conveyance in which he makes his renunciation, the tree under which he attains Enlightenment, and the size of the seat (pallaṅka) under the Bodhi tree.¹² - [Previous: v2.c29.469](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.469) - [Next: v2.c29.471](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.471) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.470](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.470) · Pramāṇa
