I am delighted by this excellent penance of yours. (In all living beings) the first stage shall be infancy, the second childhood (첹ܳ), the third youth and the fourth stage shall be old age. When the third stage in life is reached, the living beings shall become lustful. In some cases it shall be at the end of the second stage. This new limitation is imposed by me as a result of your penance. No living being shall be lustful at the time of its nativity�.

After passing her girlhood and reaching the state of early youth () she attained beauty in every limb which blazed forth brilliantly�.
