Verse 9.15
अपरतीर्थिकमतं श्रुत्वावज्ञा प्रतिष्ठते ।
उन्नताध्याशयास् तेन नरसिंहा भवन्ति ते ति ॥ १५ ॥
aparatīrthikamataṃ śrutvāvajñā pratiṣṭhate |
unnatādhyāśayās tena narasiṃhā bhavanti te ti || 15 ||
When they hear a heretic, they ignore him and go their way. Thus are the dispositions of these lion-hearted men lofty. (15)
