दरिद्रचिन्ताश्च विचिन्तयाम विश्राणयन्तो इमु बुद्धकोशम् ।
न चैव प्रार्थेम जिनस्य ज्ञानं जिनस्य ज्ञानं च प्रकाशयामः ॥ ४१ ॥
daridracintāśca vicintayāma viśrāṇayanto imu buddhakośam |
na caiva prārthema jinasya jñānaṃ jinasya jñānaṃ ca prakāśayāmaḥ || 41 ||
Yet, though we diffuse the Buddha-treasure we feel ourselves to be poor; we do not require the knowledge of the Gina, and yet, at the same time, we reveal it.
