Verse 64.622
देवेन्द्र भोति गत देवलोकं मनुष्यभूतो पि च भोति राजा ।
न पारिहानि च कदाचि तस्य यो अंजलीये वन्दति बुद्धस्तूपं ॥ ६२२ ॥
devendra bhoti gata devalokaṃ manuṣyabhūto pi ca bhoti rājā |
na pārihāni ca kadāci tasya yo aṃjalīye vandati buddhastūpaṃ || 622 ||
And when he is gone to the deva-world he becomes a lord of devas. When he becomes a man, he is a king. He never suffers loss who reverently salutes a tope of the Buddha. (622)
