तं खो तथा भोतु स्पृशाहि निर्वृतिं ।
बोधिं च प्राप्तो पुनर् आगमेसि ।
मह्यं पि धर्मं कथयेसि गौतम ।
यम् अहं श्रुत्वान व्रजेय स्वर्गतिं ॥ ८२ ॥
taṃ kho tathā bhotu spṛśāhi nirvṛtiṃ |
bodhiṃ ca prāpto punar āgamesi |
mahyaṃ pi dharmaṃ kathayesi gautama |
yam ahaṃ śrutvāna vrajeya svargatiṃ || 82 ||
“So be it, then. Go thou on to gain release. And when thou hast won enlightenment, then come hither again. Teach me the dharma, O Gotama, that hearkening to it I may pass on to heaven.” (82)
