सो च मत्व त्वरमाणो सूरी काश्यपो मथितमानसो भिक्षुः ।
भिक्षुभिः बहुभिः उत्तमो परि- निर्वृतभुवम् अनुपूर्वम् आगमि ॥ ८ ॥
so ca matva tvaramāṇo sūrī kāśyapo mathitamānaso bhikṣuḥ |
bhikṣubhiḥ bahubhiḥ uttamo pari- nirvṛtabhuvam anupūrvam āgami || 8 ||
When he had thus reflected, the wise Kashyapa, the monk supreme among the many monks, distressed in mind made haste and presently came to him who had won final release. (8)
