बुद्धो पि प्रभंकरो धर्मस्वामी गन्धानुलेपं ददियान स्तूपे ॥ ५८५ ॥
rājāpi bhoti varacakravartī śreṣṭhī amātyo gṛhapati puṇyavanto |
buddho pi prabhaṃkaro dharmasvāmī gandhānulepaṃ dadiyāna stūpe || 585 ||
Whoso has anointed a tope with perfume becomes, too, a noble universal ruler, a merchant, a king’s minister, a virtuous householder, and even a Buddha, light-bringer, lord of dharma. (585)
