Verse 7.32
लोकनाथ बहवो नरसिंहा ये च्ऽ अनागत महामतिशूरा ।
ते हि नो उपपदेयुर् उदग्रा यदि न संकलिये शासनं शास्तुः ॥ ३२ ॥
lokanātha bahavo narasiṃhā ye c' anāgata mahāmatiśūrā |
te hi no upapadeyur udagrā yadi na saṃkaliye śāsanaṃ śāstuḥ || 32 ||
“Those world-saviours, those many lion-hearted men, the wise and valiant yet to come, could not appear exultantly in the world if the Master’s teaching were not unified. (32)
