कृच्छ्रापन्ने लोके जातिजरापीडिते मरणधर्मे ।
भवचक्षुके अपाया प्रज्ञास्कन्धं निवेशेयं ॥ १३ ॥
kṛcchrāpanne loke jātijarāpīḍite maraṇadharme |
bhavacakṣuke apāyā prajñāskandhaṃ niveśeyaṃ || 13 ||
“May I plant the rudiments of wisdom in the world which is sunk in misery, is afflicted by birth and old age, is subject to death, and sees only with the eye of the body, and [may I lead it) from its state of woe. (13)
