Verse 11.28
अतः प्रभृति तद् रूपं अग्र्यं सदेवके लोके ।
अतः प्रभृति वर्णो पि तेजोकीर्तियशोबलं ।
लोकेन विषमं भवति बोधिसत्वानम् उत्तमं ॥ २८ ॥
ataḥ prabhṛti tad rūpaṃ agryaṃ sadevake loke |
ataḥ prabhṛti varṇo pi tejokīrtiyaśobalaṃ |
lokena viṣamaṃ bhavati bodhisatvānam uttamaṃ || 28 ||
Henceforth, the form of the Bodhisattvas is supreme in the world of men and devas, and unsurpassed are the lustre, the radiance, the fame and glory and might of the Bodhisattvas, and hard to attain by the world. (28)
