Avaivartika - 4

The Avaivartika and the causal relations of the 32 Marks of Perfection of the Tathagata.

 “The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (9) upholds the precepts, (10) listens to sermons, and (11) does not stop giving. Due to this, his joints and ankles are fully fleshed and the hair on his skin flows in one direction.

The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (12) single-mindedly gives ear to Dharma and (13) expounds the right teachings. Because of this, he gains the ankles of a deer-king.”

Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 34, on Bodhisattva Lion's Roar 2.
