He has feet with level tread. He has designs of wheels on the soles of his feet. He has long toes and fingers. He has broad and projecting heels. He has sharply arched feet. His legs are like the antelope’s. His body is divinely straight. He can touch his knees with his hands when standing erect. His male organ is encased in a sheath. His body is proportioned like the banyan-tree. (189)
