मार्गगतो प्रणष्टानां हतहतनयनानां देशयि मार्गं ।
तेन परिणायकवरं लभति रतनं उत्तमनायकं ॥ ४६ ॥
mārgagato praṇaṣṭānāṃ hatahatanayanānāṃ deśayi mārgaṃ |
tena pariṇāyakavaraṃ labhati ratanaṃ uttamanāyakaṃ || 46 ||
In that he, having entered upon the Way himself, has shown the Way to the blind and the lost, he therefore wins the peerless excellent treasure of the counsellor. (46)
