प्रशस्तानि यस्य दुवे त्रिंशतिं च अशीतिं च काये अनुव्यंजनानि ।
समन्ता च व्यामप्रभा निश्चरेन्सुः कथं नाम विज्ञू जिने न प्रसीदे ॥ १०१ ॥

praśastāni yasya duve triṃśatiṃ ca aśītiṃ ca kāye anuvyaṃjanāni |
samantā ca vyāmaprabhā niścarensuḥ kathaṃ nāma vijñū jine na prasīde || 101 ||

Since there are on his body the thirty-two praiseworthy marks and the eighty secondary characteristics, and since his radiance extends a full fathom, how, verily, can the wise not have faith in him as the Conqueror? (101)
