is reported to have been _transfigured_. When _on a mountain_ in Ceylon, suddenly a flame of light descended upon him and encircled the crown of his head with a circle of light. The mount is called _Pandava_, or yellow-white color. It is said that 'the glory of his person shone forth with double power,' that his body was 'glorious as a bright golden image,' that he 'shone as the brightness of the sun and moon,' that bystanders expressed their opinion, that he could not be 'an every-day person,' or 'a mortal man,' and that his body was divided into _three_[293:1] parts, from each of which a ray of light issued forth."[293:2]
