Verse 7.1
वत्ते अप्रतिम धर्मदर्शनं न एककल्पशतसंचितात्मनां ।
भूमयो दश जिनान श्रीमतां यैर् विकुर्विषु सदा पण्डिता ॥ १ ॥
vatte apratima dharmadarśanaṃ na ekakalpaśatasaṃcitātmanāṃ |
bhūmayo daśa jināna śrīmatāṃ yair vikurviṣu sadā paṇḍitā || 1 ||
Incomparable is the insight into dharma of those who in the round of rebirths have gathered lives through several hundred kalpas. The glorious Conquerors pass through ten bhumis. Hear, ye wise, with what feats of wonder they do so. (1)
