यानि च त्रीणि यानि च षष्टि श्रमणप्रवादनिश्रितानि भूरिप्रज्ञ ।
संज्ञाक्षरसंज्ञानिश्रितानि ओसरणानि वीर ओसरेसि मार्गा ॥ २८ ॥
yāni ca trīṇi yāni ca ṣaṣṭi śramaṇapravādaniśritāni bhūriprajña |
saṃjñākṣarasaṃjñāniśritāni osaraṇāni vīra osaresi mārgā || 28 ||
In thy great wisdom thou, O Hero, hast cleared from the path the three and sixty tenets based on the arguments of recluses, based on taking sound for sense, those outworn creeds. (28)
