आच्छेत्व तृष्णां गुणसंप्रचारी बह्व् अत्र रक्ता करिष्यन्ति च्छन्दं ।
बहुं वतायं जनतां सुवेध आच्छेत्व + + + + + + मृत्युराज्ञो ।
नयिष्यति अच्युतपदम् अशोकं ॥ ८७ ॥

ācchetva tṛṣṇāṃ guṇasaṃpracārī bahv atra raktā kariṣyanti cchandaṃ |
bahuṃ vatāyaṃ janatāṃ suvedha ācchetva + + + + + + mṛtyurājño |
nayiṣyati acyutapadam aśokaṃ || 87 ||

He who fares on with his groups and orders has cut off all craving. And many beings will make a resolve. Yea, he will surely pluck many men from the clutches of the king of death, and lead them to the sphere of the immovable and the griefless. (87)
