Si Rāghava ay may sampung katangiang tulad-loto at sampung malalapad at ganap na bahagi; nalulukuban siya ng tatlong kagalingan—ningning, katanyagan, at kaluwalhatian. Dalawa ang maputi—ang kanyang mga mata at ngipin; anim ang nakaangat; siyam ang maselan at matalas. At sa tatlong yugto ng buhay, sinusunod niya ang nararapat.
