SUMMARY: The Rishis present in the Ashram saw Sri Madhwacharyaru, who had all the thirty-two featutes of human physical structure, entering the Ashram, began thinking curiously about him (Sri Madhwaru).

The thirty-two good physical features are mentioned in the Kashee Kanda of Skanda Purana as follows:

The five organs of shoulder, eye, cheeks and knee should be longish; skin, hair, fingers, tooth and palm should be subtle and delicate; heels, edge of eyes, the space between thumb and 

forefinger, tongue, lower lip and nails should be red; chest, stomach, curls or ringlets, shoulder, hand and face should be elevated; forehead, waist and chest should be broad; calf of leg, neck and internal abcess should small and voice, vitality and naval should be conservative.

SUMMARY: Who can this rare person coming here? He is like the golden sal tree; his eyes are like lotus petals; his face is like spotless full moon; his walk is like that of an elephant and his shoulders is neat and long.

This is said to be one of the most appropriate and perfect descriptions of the physical appearance of Sri Madhwacharyaru. The physical features of Bheemasena mentioned in Mahabharata are very much similar to the features of Sri Madhwacharyaru, which shows that Sri Madhwaru was Bheemasena during Dwaparayuga and Hanuman during Tretayuga.
