Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraCatvāriṃśat (चत्वारिंशत्) refers to “(the mystical mark of having) forty teeth”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 19).—Accordingly, “Furthermore, some say that generosity is the cause and condition (hetupratyaya) for obtaining the thirty-two marks. Why is that? [...] When giving, if one expresses oneself truthfully (satyavāda) in coherent speech (saṃghātvāda), one obtains the mystical mark of having forty teeth (catvāriṃśat-danta). [...]”.
