As the Adipurana describes, just as his form was endowed with beauty, so too were his possessions. For a Kalpavriksha does not arise without being adorned with ornaments. ||34|| Just as the celestial bodies shine brightly when they are adorned with the jewel-studded shores of Mount Meru, so too did the auspicious marks shine brightly when they adorned the pure body of the Lord. ||35|| The Lord, resplendent with ornaments, shone like the Kalpavriksha. Auspicious marks, like beautiful flowers, adorned him. ||36|| These marks were: the Srivriksha, the Shaka, the lotus, the Swastika, the Ankusha, the Torana, the Chamara, the white umbrella, the throne, the flag, two fish, two pitchers, the tortoise, the wheel, the ocean, the lake, the chariot, the palace, the elephant, the man, the woman, the lion, the arrow, the bow, Mount Meru, Indra, the celestial Ganga, the city, the gateway, the moon, the sun, the excellent horse, the Talavrinta-feather, the flute, the Veena, the Mridanga, garlands, silken garments, shops, earrings, and other dazzling and diverse ornaments; a garden full of fruit, a field adorned with ripe trees, a jewel-island, a forest, the earth, Lakshmi, Saraswati, the Kamadhenu, the bull, the jewel-crown, great treasures, the Kalpalata, gold, Jambudvipa, Garuda, stars, constellations, a royal palace, the sun and other planets, the Siddhartha tree, eight miracles, and eight auspicious substances. These, and other marks, numbered one hundred and eight, and there were nine hundred other delicacies like Masurika. ||37-44|| The Lord's body, filled with these beautiful and auspicious marks, shone like the sky, the courtyard of the celestial beings, filled with celestial bodies. ||45|| Since the Lord's pure body was graced by these marks, it seems that there must have been some auspicious inner marks within them. ||46|| Just as Lakshmi, with great difficulty, found a place in the mind, the home of the Lord, the world-teacher, who was free from attachment and aversion. ||47||
