ज्ञात्वान तस्य प्रणिधिम् एवरूपां यथा तं चित्तं ततो बुद्धज्ञाने ।
स्मितं करित्वा जिनो व्याकरोति बुद्धो तुवं भेष्यसि लोकनाथो ॥ ६३० ॥
jñātvāna tasya praṇidhim evarūpāṃ yathā taṃ cittaṃ tato buddhajñāne |
smitaṃ karitvā jino vyākaroti buddho tuvaṃ bheṣyasi lokanātho || 630 ||
Aware of this vow, for what was in his heart was known to him, the Conqueror smiled, and proclaimed “Thou wilt become a Buddha, a Saviour of the world.” (630)
