He was spotless and handsome in every part of his body. He was huge in size and had all brilliance, strength and valour. She gave him various clothes and ornaments. She blessed him with benediction (bahvāśis) [caiva bahvāśiṣamanuttamām] and said—‘You are my son. You are my own. I have none else to call my own’. [...]”.
