Verse 54.1
एकं कोलं तस्य भक्षं एकं तिलकतण्डुलं ।
क्वचि स्य सम्बुद्धज्ञानं न वीर्यवन्ते संश्रये ॥ १ ॥
ekaṃ kolaṃ tasya bhakṣaṃ ekaṃ tilakataṇḍulaṃ |
kvaci sya sambuddhajñānaṃ na vīryavante saṃśraye || 1 ||
One jujube fruit was his meal, one sesame seed, and one grain of rice. For wherever a perfect Buddha’s knowledge may be, it is not in a vigorous body. (1)
