The state of *Anuttaraupapatikadasha* was evident. Their arms were long and dry, like a dried-up serpent. Their forearms trembled like an iron horse bridle. Their head shook like a patient suffering from *Kampilanvata* (tremor). Their lotus-like face was withered. Their lips were dry, making their mouth appear distorted like a broken pot. Their eyeballs were sunken. Weakened by prolonged austerities, the blessed *Anugara* walked not by the strength of their body, but by the strength of their soul. They stood and sat by the strength of their soul. They grew weary from speaking, even the act of speaking caused them fatigue, even the thought of "I will speak" exhausted them. When they walked, their bones made a sound like a cart filled with charcoal.
The state that had befallen *Skandaka* had also befallen the blessed *Anugara*. Yet, they were radiant with inner spiritual fire, like fire covered with ashes. The blessed *Anugara* was adorned with austerity, brilliance, and the splendor of the aura of austerity (they were steadfast, unwavering, and unmoving in their practice).
Here, in a single thread, the sutra-maker has described all the limbs of the blessed *Anugara* in a different way. The blessed *Anugara's* feet, shanks, and thighs were extremely dry due to the lack of flesh and had become completely rough due to constant hunger. There was no trace of oiliness left in them. Their waist was like a *kataha* (tortoise shell or a special vessel used by confectioners). Due to the depletion of flesh and the protrusion of bones, it appeared terrifying, like the high banks of a river - high on both sides and deep in the middle. Their stomach was completely dry. The liver and spleen had also withered within it. Therefore, it had naturally merged with the back. The flesh on the ribs had also dried up completely, and they could be counted individually. The same was the case with the elevated regions of the back. They too could be counted individually, as if strung together like beads of a *rudraksha* garland. The chest region appeared like the waves of the Ganges. The arms had dried up like dried-up snakes. The hands were not under their control and moved on their own, like a loose horse bridle. The stability of the head was also lost. It trembled like the head of a man suffering from *Kampilanvata* (tremor), being devoid of strength. Due to this intense austerity, the face that once shone like a blooming lotus, was now withered. The lips had become distorted due to dryness. This made the mouth appear terrifying, like the mouth of a broken pot. Both their eyes were sunken. Physical strength had completely weakened. They walked and stood only by the power of their soul. Due to this complete weakness, their body had reached such a state that even speaking caused them great pain and fatigue. Even if they spoke, it was with great difficulty. The body was generally so weak that when they walked, the rubbing of bones against each other produced a sound like a moving cart filled with charcoal.
The implication is that just as the body of *Skandaka* Muni had become extremely weak due to austerity, so too had the body of the blessed *Anugara* become weak, emaciated, and feeble. But even with the depletion of their body, their spiritual radiance was increasing. Their state had become like fire covered with ashes. Their soul was acquiring an extraordinary beauty from the brilliance of austerity and the radiance it produced.
