मात्सर्यदोषो हि भवेत मह्यं स्पृशित्व बोधिं विरजां विशिष्टाम् ।
यदि हीनयानस्मि प्रतिष्ठपेयमेकं पि सत्त्वं न ममते साधु ॥ ५७ ॥

mātsaryadoṣo hi bhaveta mahyaṃ spṛśitva bodhiṃ virajāṃ viśiṣṭām |
yadi hīnayānasmi pratiṣṭhapeyamekaṃ pi sattvaṃ na mamate sādhu || 57 ||

1 should be guilty of envy, should I, after reaching the spotless eminent state of enlightenment, establish any one in the inferior vehicle. That would not beseem me.
