Part 8: Personal description of Sambhava

Four hundred bows tall, golden, the Teacher of the World looked like Meru turned into a man for amusement.

Wearing a high turban round like an umbrella, his hair sleek and dark, his forehead resembling the moon of the eighth day in beauty, his eyes extending to his ears his ears reaching his shoulders, bull-shouldered, long-armed, broad-chested, lean-bellied like a lion, his thighs resembling an elephant’s trunk, his legs like a deer’s, his ankles small, his feet arched and smooth-soled like the back of a tortoise, his fingers straight, his body-hair separated, grown out, dark, soft, sleek, his breath perfumed like a lotus, always free from impurities, so favored in his body by nature, the Lord of the World shone exceedingly with youth, like the full moon with autumn.
