“The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (7) practices the four ways to guide beings in through: 1) giving, 2) friendliness, 3) good deeds, and 4) transforming himself and co-existing with them, as the beings themselves. Due to this, he earns the toe-membrane [one of the eighty minor characteristics of excellence] like that of the great royal swan.
The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva when his parents, teachers and elders are ill, (8) bathes and cleans itself, holds and rubs his members. Because of this, his hands and feet are soft.”
Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 34, on Bodhisattva Lion's Roar 2.
