These long arms looked as if a python had extended its huge body to grab a desired object.
His hands (pani) were full, soft, fleshy, well proportioned and bore auspicious signs. When joined, there were no gaps visible between the fingers.
The fingers were stout but soft and beautiful. The nails were thin, faultless, beautiful and smooth with a pink hue.
His palms were reddish, slim, clean, attractive, soft and delicate. These palms bore auspicious lines and signs of the moon, the sun, conch-shell, wheel, left sided conch-shell and swastika.
His chest was bright like the surface of a slab of gold, prominent, flat, fleshy, generous, broad and portly. It had the auspicious sign of shrivatsa.
Due to the fleshy and muscular structure of his body the mounds of the bones of the spinal column were not visible.
His complete body was radiant like gold, unblemished, beautiful, free of any ailment or deformity (nirupahat) and it carried all the 1008 auspicious marks and signs of a noble human being.
His flanks tapered from chest down and were well proportioned, beautiful, graceful with streamlined flesh cover and attractive.
On his chest and abdomen were rows of lovely hair that were straight, dense, gossamer, fine, black, gleaming and charming.
His groin was beautifully shaped and muscular like a fish or a bird.
His abdomen was beautiful and slim like a fish. The bulk of his intestines was pure and clean (normally the intestines carry excreta, however, in case of a Tirthankar they are free of excreta due to his supernatural attributes).
His navel was deep and arcane like a lotus, circular like a whirlpool in the Ganges, spiraling like waves turning clockwise and beautiful like a lotus blooming in scintillating rays of the sun.
His torso was slim like a trident, a mace, the middle of the heart handle of a mirror or a sword and thunder-bolt.
