The stanza of the lion of men

These verses were uttered by Princess Yasodhara to her son, Rahula, on the occasion of the Buddha’s visit to Kapilavatthu after his Enlightenment. She explained some of the physical characteristics and noble virtues of the Blessed One.

His red sacred feet are marked with an excellent wheel;
His long heels are decked with characteristic marks;
His feet are adorned with chowrie (camara) and parasol.
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.

He is a delicate and noble Sakya Prince;
His body is full of characteristic marks; he is a hero amongst men,
Intent on the welfare of the world.
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.

Like the full moon is his face, he is dear to gods and men;
He is like an elephant amongst men;
His gait is graceful as that of an elephant of noble breed
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.

He is of noble lineage, sprung from the warrior caste;
His feet have been honoured by gods and men;
His mind is well established in morality and concentration.
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.

Long and prominent is his well formed nose,
His eye lashes are like those of a heifer;
His eyes are extremely blue; like a rainbow are his deep blue eyebrows.
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.

Round and smooth is his well-formed neck;
His jaw is like that of a lion, his body is like that of king of beast;
His beautiful skin is of bright golden colour,
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.

Soft and deep is his sweet voice;
His tongue is as red as vermillon;
His white teeth are twenty in each row
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.

Like the colour of collyrium is his deep blue hair;
Like a polished golden plate is his forehead;
As white as the morning star is his beautiful tuft of hair(between the eyebrows)
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.

Just as the moon surrounded by a multitude of stars, follows the sky path,
Even so goes the monks of the Lord,
Accompanied by his disciples,
That indeed, is your father, the lion of men.
