Verse 76.176
एको चरामि मुनि अप्रमत्तो निन्दाप्रशंसासु अवेपमानो ।
सिंहो व शब्देषु असन्त्रसन्तो वातं व जालेषु असज्यमानं ।
नेतारम् अन्येषु अनन्यनेयं भीरुं जिनं शाक्य कथं वदेसि ॥ १७६ ॥
eko carāmi muni apramatto nindāpraśaṃsāsu avepamāno |
siṃho va śabdeṣu asantrasanto vātaṃ va jāleṣu asajyamānaṃ |
netāram anyeṣu ananyaneyaṃ bhīruṃ jinaṃ śākya kathaṃ vadesi || 176 ||
“Alone I fare along, a watchful sage unmoved by blame or praise, like a lion that is not frightened by noises, like the wind that can not be trapped in a net. How, O Shakyan, can you say that the Conqueror, a leader himself and not led by others, is afraid?” (176)
