न तस्य पुण्यं सुकरं प्रकीर्तितुं यन् तेन पुण्यं सुमहत् गृहीतं ।
ओसन्नपुष्पं जिनचेतियेषु छोरेत्व तुष्टो प्रमुदितवेगजातो ॥ ६१३ ॥
na tasya puṇyaṃ sukaraṃ prakīrtituṃ yan tena puṇyaṃ sumahat gṛhītaṃ |
osannapuṣpaṃ jinacetiyeṣu choretva tuṣṭo pramuditavegajāto || 613 ||
It is not easy to relate the very great merit won by him who, gladly, joyfully and eagerly has thrown away drooping flowers from the Conqueror’s tope. (613)
