The term "Anuttaroupapatikadasha" signifies that the blessed renunciates, due to the sole cause of their intense penance, became so absorbed in their austerities that they became detached even from their own bodies. They were completely free from any attachment to their bodies. They embraced the most rigorous forms of penance. As a result, no flesh or blood remained in any part of their bodies. Only bones, skin, and a network of veins were visible. Despite having a physical body, they attained a state of being bodiless.
The description of their waist, abdomen, and ribs:
* **Waist:** The waist of the blessed renunciates, due to their penance, had become as beautiful as the leg of a camel, the leg of an old bull, or the leg of an old buffalo. Only bones, skin, and veins remained; flesh and blood were no longer present.
* **Abdomen:** The abdomen of the blessed renunciates, due to their penance, had become as beautiful as a dry gourd, a pot for roasting chickpeas, or a kneading trough. Similarly, the abdomen of the blessed renunciates had dried up. Flesh and blood were no longer present.
* **Ribs:** The ribs of the blessed renunciates, due to their penance, had become as beautiful as a row of pillars, a row of cups, or a row of stakes. Just as these objects can be counted, so too could the ribs of the blessed renunciates be counted. Only bones, skin, and veins remained; flesh and blood were no longer present.
* **Back:** The upper part of the spine of the blessed renunciates had become as beautiful as the rims of crowns, a row of round stones stuck together, or a row of circles.
