by Émile Senart | 1882 | 56,574 words

Verse 64.217
कल्याणमित्रा पि तं धारयेन्सुः मा अप्रसादं जनये बहुबुद्धेः ।
न शक्य एषो विमलप्रभो महात्मा चालेतुं भूयो मुनिम् आसनातो ॥ २१७ ॥
kalyāṇamitrā pi taṃ dhārayensuḥ mā aprasādaṃ janaye bahubuddheḥ |
na śakya eṣo vimalaprabho mahātmā cāletuṃ bhūyo munim āsanāto || 217 ||
Other well-disposed friends sought to deter Mara from breeding distrust of the High-minded One. “This Magnanimous One of pure radiance,” said they, “the Sage, can no more be moved from his throne.” (217)
