His eyes are beautiful like blue water lilies, with eyelashes like a bull,<br>His face is handsome, endowed with the white immaculate ūrṇā hair,<br>His head [is crowned by] an uṣṇīṣa, and the skin<br>Of the supreme of beings is pure, delicate, and has a golden hue. +
His body hairs, each one separate by itself, are soft and subtle,<br>Pointing upward from the body and curling to the right.<br>His hair is [colored] like a stainless blue sapphire,<br>And he is [well proportioned] like the maṇḍala of a perfect nyagrodha tree. +
The ever-excellent and incomparable body of the great seer<br>Is firm and possesses the strength of Nārāyaṇa.<br>The teacher declared these thirty-two [marks]<br>Of infinite splendor to be the signs of the lord of humans. +
Just as the splendor of the moon in a cloudless sky<br>Is seen in the blue autumn waters of great ponds, <br>So the hosts of the children of the victors see the splendor<br>Of the lord on the surfaces of the circles [around] the perfect Buddha. +
These sixty-four qualities,<br>Each one together with their causes,<br>Are to be understood in due order<br>Through following the ''Ratna[dārikā]sūtra''. +
As for the powers and so on, due to being penetrating,<br>At ease, exclusive, and effortless, respectively,<br>They are illustrated by a vajra, a lion,<br>Space, and the moon [reflected in] clear water. +
Through six powers, three,<br>And one, in due order,<br>All stains in terms of what is to be cognized, meditative absorption,<br>And [the afflictions] including their latent tendencies are eliminated. +
The first body is endowed with<br>The qualities of freedom, such as the powers,<br>And the second one, with those of maturation,<br>Which are the marks of a great being. +
Therefore since these [three stains] are pierced, broken, and cut down<br>Like an armor, a wall, and a tree, respectively,<br>The powers of the seer are like a vajra,<br>Being weighty, firm, strong, and unbreakable. +
Why are they weighty? Because they are firm.<br>Why are they firm? Because they are strong.<br>Why are they strong? Because they are unbreakable.<br>Since they are unbreakable, they are like a vajra. +
