One that is beautiful, has an odor like (tulyagandha) the white water lily, sandalwood, Alstonia scholaris, orange tree, lotus, or Cathartocarpus fistula, whose face beams, who always retains the interest (spirit, excitement) of a kalabha (young elephant), who has a cry like a koil, he is to be honored as having the character of a god”.
