Babari Brahmin 100, used to be head priest of Prasenjit, the king of Kosala, had four Lakshanas in his body out of thirty two. He left his responsibilities of head priest and was living life of recluse with hundreds of disciples. He heard of Buddha and sent his sixteen best disciples with the leadership of Aswojit (?). He said to them "My disciples, I have heard that there is a perfect person with all thirty two signs in his body, he is recluse and now enlightened. According to our literature, a person with all these thirty two sign if a householder will be emperor, if recluse will be enlightened. I am too old, can't walk, it is great fortune even to hear about such person what to talk to see him. Go my disciples, check the validity, and ask these questions". He sent sixteen questions with them, they found all thirty two signs in his body and eventually Babari accepted Buddha's teaching with all his disciples. Puskasati Brahman, sent his disciples with the leadership of Ambasta, to check thirty two Lakshanas in Buddha's body. Finding true of all the Lakshanas he became Buddha's lay disciple. Mahakssap was very rich Brahman who also had (I think) four Lakshanas. Later on he became monk and one of the prominent figures of Buddha's teaching, . I have heard that in modern days, Mohan C. Gandhi had one of the 32 Lakshanas; that was very long hands. He could touch his knee by a finger tip in stretched standing position, I am not sure of this, I have to ask this to some one who studied Gandhi well. Many other examples can be found about these 32 Lakshanas in Pali literature. Now question arises, how these Lakshanas are associated with woman? I would like to analyze like this. Thirty two Lakshanas represents the perfection of human. "Battish Lakshan Le Ukta", has become a phrase which means complete, perfect. Nothing can be added and nothing can be subtracted. So people use that word for perfect things. "Battis Lakshan le ukta nari" means a perfect woman, a good qualitative woman, physically, morally, mentally, from all aspects. Here are those 32 Lakshanas.
