Verse 64.213
त्याग्यासि पूर्वे चरं कल्पनन्तां त्यक्ता विशिष्टा तव राजधानी ।
हस्तिगणा अश्व बहु पुण्ययानं तेन प्रभासि दिश सत्वसार ॥ २१३ ॥
tyāgyāsi pūrve caraṃ kalpanantāṃ tyaktā viśiṣṭā tava rājadhānī |
hastigaṇā aśva bahu puṇyayānaṃ tena prabhāsi diśa satvasāra || 213 ||
“Thou hast lived in self-denial from of old for infinite kalpas. Thou didst renounce thy distinguished royal city, thy troops of elephants, thy horses, and many a goodly chariot. Therefore, O Choicest of beings, thou dost illumine the quarters of the world. (213)
