यदि वा नु कश्चिद्भवि देवपुत्रः शुभेन कर्मेण समन्वितो इह ।
उपपन्नु तस्यो अयमानुभावो यदि वा भवेद् बुद्ध कदाचि लोके ॥ ४६ ॥
yadi vā nu kaścidbhavi devaputraḥ śubhena karmeṇa samanvito iha |
upapannu tasyo ayamānubhāvo yadi vā bhaved buddha kadāci loke || 46 ||
Should it be some god who has been bestowed upon the world in recompense of good works, and whose grandeur thus comes to light? Or is perhaps a Buddha born in the world?
