The Malavya native has beautiful lips and a slender waist. He is lustrous like the Moon and has fragrance in his body. He is of ordinary red complexion, has a medium stature and clean and beautiful teeth. His voice is like that of an elephant and his arms are long enough to reach upto his knees. His face is thirteen anguls in length and ten anguls in breadth. He lives happily for seventy years as ruler of Sindhu and Malwa and then leaves for his heavenly abode.
