Bisati Bisat Seta Sudanto, Hingula Baddha Suratta Sujivo! Supati ta Samma Supado, Yesahi Tuhhey Pita NaraSimhho!! -NaraSimha Gatha One who has twenty (up) - twenty (down) white teeth, very long red tong, well leveled sole, the superior human is your father. This is one of the verses that Yeshodhara said to Rahul while she was introducing his father to him for the first time. Rahul 11, had only heard of his father, never seen. He couldn't recognize him among the 500 yellow robed monks taking their alms in his palace and went to his mother to ask how his father looked like. This verse may have little bit (one or two words) shift from the original one because I couldn't exactly recall it. But I knew the verse and its meaning so I completed, forgive me. Fourty Teeth, very long tong, well leveled sole are three of the thirty two signs of great person's body, that Yeshodhara, wife of Siddartha Gautam stated in above mentioned verse. This thread started with a question asking about 32 Lakshana, the best qualities of a woman, which is absolutely wrong. These are the best qualities of a perfect Human. Actually they are not qualities, they are sign in the human body, that implies that the person will be/is perfect. This was the gift of Vedic Yogis; they were the great scientist, the great discoverer. I have been reading Veda these days, but haven't come across this chapter yet. May be I will never find this chapter because somebody has already told me that it is not there. Anyway, we lost lot many things as time passed, but if you really investigate, explore, it is not impossible to find them. When ten learned Vaidic Brahman saw the newborn of king Suddhodhana, nine of them raised two fingers whereas Kaundanya, the youngest of them raised only one. King asked them what the meaning of raising fingers was. Nine of them said if he stayed household the will be an emperor, but if he renounced he will be Buddha, the fully awakened one. Kaudannya, the youngest Brahmin confidently said he will renounce and will find out the path of liberation (29 years later when he heard that Siddhartha left palace, he followed him like a shadow with the hope that one day Siddhartha will be Buddha, the enlightened one and he will teach him the path of liberation. The prediction came true, and Kaudannya became Buddha's first enlightened disciple). Do you know how had they predicted that the new born of Suddhodhan will be Buddha? This new born had all these thirty two signs in his body. They had read in Veda, a person who had all these thirty two Lakshanas ie signs would either be an emperor or a fully enlightened one. In Pali literature we can see the life of those days, at the time of Buddha. In Veda there used to be a part called "Lakshna Viddya" which was also known as "Anga Viddya", scholars used to predict future of a person with his/her body. It is not something like "Jyotish Viddya". If you do some research, you will find, Hindus adapted Jyotish Sastra from Chaina and Greek. Astroglogy was considered first developed and flourished in China more than 5000 years ago. Greek people developed it independently much later, and if you make comparative study of Hindu and Greek astrology, you can find so many Greek words in Hindu Jotish Sastra, which don?t have Sanskrit root at all. Later on, during Islamic empire in Babylon, Hindu scholars bridges Chainese astrology with Greek astrology that was preserved by Muslims. Anyway, this is another direction where I don?t want to go. But my point is, now we lost ? Anga Viddya? which used to be independent. I gave you one example of Siddhartha, here are some more examples.
