Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> 32 mahālakṣaṇas and 80 anulakṣaṇas mark Viṣṇu's form. **Interpretation<br> This name appeared earlier (858) but here emphasizes lakṣaṇa-śāstra - the theological significance of divine marks. **Mythological Story<br> When Buddha was born, the sage Asita examined the infant and found all 32 mahālakṣaṇas (great marks) of a mahāpuruṣa (great being): 1) Lotus feet with wheel marks (cakra), 2) Long, slender fingers, 3) Broad, equal heels, 4) Webbed fingers and toes, 5) Soft, tender skin, 6) Seven convex surfaces (2 soles, 2 palms, 2 shoulders, 1 trunk), 7) Ankles like rounded conch-shells, 8) Legs like antelope, 9) Long arms reaching to knees, 10) Concealed private parts, 11) Golden complexion, 12) Soft skin requiring no oil, 13) Individual body hairs curling to right, 14) Hair whorls between eyebrows (ūrṇā), 15) Lion-like upper body, 16) Space between shoulders filled, 17) Lion-like jaw, 18) Forty teeth, 19) Even teeth, 20) No gaps between teeth, 21) Very white teeth, 22) Long tongue, 23) Divine voice (Brahma-svara), 24) Deep blue eyes, 25) Eyelashes like cow, 26) Protuberance on crown (uṣṇīṣa), 27-32) [various other marks]. These aren't random but symbolize divine qualities. For devotees, meditating on kṛtalakṣaṇa means visualizing the perfect form marked with signs of divinity - a practice that transforms consciousness toward divinity.
