Verse 19.2
तथा परं मेरुतटे समागतां स वादिसिंहो वशिनां वशी वशी ।
परोपहारं भगवां स भिक्षुसंघस्य तं इदम् अवचा महामुनिर् इति ॥ २ ॥
tathā paraṃ merutaṭe samāgatāṃ sa vādisiṃho vaśināṃ vaśī vaśī |
paropahāraṃ bhagavāṃ sa bhikṣusaṃghasya taṃ idam avacā mahāmunir iti || 2 ||
In the same way the lion-hearted speaker, the master of those who have won self-mastery, produced another apparition for those assembled on the slopes of Mount Meru, and the Exalted One, the great sage, told of it to his brotherhood of monks. (2)
