दृश्य तं प्रवररूपधारिणं काष्ठसंचयगतं तथागतं ।
धिग् भवान् इति गिराम् उदीरयी दर्शितप्रकृतिभावलक्षणां ॥ १७ ॥
dṛśya taṃ pravararūpadhāriṇaṃ kāṣṭhasaṃcayagataṃ tathāgataṃ |
dhig bhavān iti girām udīrayī darśitaprakṛtibhāvalakṣaṇāṃ || 17 ||
When he saw the Tathagata in all his superb beauty laid out on a funeral-pile, he exclaimed, “Fie on existence that always bears the manifest marks of its true nature.” (17)
