THE DHARMA BODY IS NOT APPEARANCES, TWENTY-SIX
“Subhuti, what do you think?
须菩提！于意云何？
“Can the Tathagata be recognised by His thirty-two physical characteristics?”
可以三十二相观如来不？
Subhuti replied: “Yes, yes, He can.”
须菩提言：‘如是！如是！以三十二相观如来。’
The Buddha said:
佛言：
“Subhuti, if the Tathagata can be recognised by His thirty-two physical characteristics,
须菩提！若以三十二相观如来者，
“a world ruler (cakravarti) would be the Tathagata.”
转轮圣王则（即）是如来。’
Subhuti said to the Buddha:
须菩提白佛言：
“World Honoured One, as I understand your teaching,
世尊！如我解佛所说义，
“the Tathagata cannot be recognized by His thirty-two physical characteristics.”
不应以三十二相观如来。
Thereupon, the World Honoured One recited the following gatha:
尔时，世尊而说偈言：
“He who sees me by outward appearance (And) seeks me in sound,
若以色见我 以音声求我
“Treads the heterodox path (And) cannot perceive the Tathagata.
是人行邪道 不能见如来
