དབང་པོ་ཡོངས་སུ་ཚང་ཞིང་ལུས་རབ་ཏུ་རྒྱས་པ། | Glossary of Terms

Although not stated in precisely the same words, this description echoes some of the eighty excellent signs (asītyānuvyañjana), a subset of the 112 physical characteristics of both buddhas and cakravartins. For example, the list found in the Perfection of Wisdom in Ten Thousand Lines (Toh 11, 2.33) describes these signs: “(15) Their body is well proportioned. (16) Their senses are completely purified. (17) Their understanding is perfectly pure.” And further down the list it reads “(36) Their [sense faculties]‍—the ‘gates to the sense fields’‍—are excellent.”
