उद्विद्धकायो भवति उदारो सदा चरन्तो शुभकर्मश्रेष्ठं ।
न तस्य दूरे वर-अग्रबोधि छोरेत्व निर्माल्यं जिनस्य स्तूपे ॥ ६१४ ॥
udviddhakāyo bhavati udāro sadā caranto śubhakarmaśreṣṭhaṃ |
na tasya dūre vara-agrabodhi choretva nirmālyaṃ jinasya stūpe || 614 ||
He becomes tall and stately of body, always performing the noblest fair deeds. The noble supreme enlightenment is not far off for him who throws away withered flowers from the Conqueror’s tope. (614)
