यस्यार्थं दानं पुरिमभवेषु दिन्नं यस्यापि शीलम् अशवलं रक्षितं पूर्वे ।
यस्यार्थं प्रज्ञा परमा निषेविता सा ते नरेन्द्रवर प्राप्त बोधिः ॥ २६५ ॥
yasyārthaṃ dānaṃ purimabhaveṣu dinnaṃ yasyāpi śīlam aśavalaṃ rakṣitaṃ pūrve |
yasyārthaṃ prajñā paramā niṣevitā sā te narendravara prāpta bodhiḥ || 265 ||
“Thou, O Lord of men, hast attained that enlightenment to win which thou didst give gifts in thy former lives, to win which thou didst keep thy morals unblemished, to win which thou didst ensue the highest wisdom. (265)
