Their hands were like the palms of a lotus, strong, soft, fleshy, beautiful, and broad. Their fingers were strong, without holes, soft, and excellent. Their nails were thin, clear, lustrous, beautiful, and smooth, with a copper-like color. The lines on their hands were auspicious, like the moon, sun, conch, wheel, and swastika, and well-formed. Their legs were like the legs of a buffalo, boar, lion, tiger, deer, or elephant, strong, full, raised, and soft. Their necks were four angulas in length and beautiful like a conch. Their beards and mustaches were well-formed and clean. Their chins were strong, fleshy, beautiful, and broad like a tiger's. Their lips were pure, red like a deer or a bimba fruit. Their teeth were like a row of pearls, pure, white like a conch, the foam of cow's milk, a kunda flower, a water drop, or a lotus stalk. Their teeth were unbroken, well-proportioned, smooth, beautiful, and even. The soles of their feet and the bottom of their tongues were like pure gold heated in fire. Their voice was sweet like a sārasa bird, deep like the roar of a fresh cloud, and resonant like the sound of a kroñca bird and a kettledrum. Their noses were long, straight, and raised, like the beak of a garuḍa. Their faces were like a blooming lotus.
Their eyes were like blooming lotus flowers, clear like white lotus petals, their eyebrows were slightly bent like a bow, beautiful, and in a straight line, black like dark clouds, of appropriate length, and beautiful.

The skin of their heads was red like pure gold heated in fire. Their hair was thick like the fruit of a śālmalī tree, well-proportioned, fine, soft, beautiful, pure, smooth, well-formed, fragrant, black like the jewels of a king, sapphire, and kohl, and curly, like a swarm of happy bees, turning to the right. They were full of auspicious marks, good qualities, and virtues, well-proportioned, with a good reputation, beautiful in every way, gentle in form like the moon, pleasing to look at, naturally beautiful, worthy of being seen, beautiful, and perfect.
The voice of these humans was like the sound of letters, like clouds, like swans, like kroñca birds, like the sound of a bull, like the sound of a lion, like the sound of a direction-guarding deity, like the sound of a conch of the ocean-guarding deity. They were swift like the wind, with the nature of a pigeon, pure like a śakuni bird, with a clean anus, well-formed on both sides of their backs and bellies, with well-proportioned thighs, fragrant like a lotus or a blue lotus, strong, healthy, excellent, well-formed, very white, without any blemishes, dirt, sweat, or mucus, very clean, and radiant.
