सम्यक्संबुद्धा इति द्रष्टव्या अतः प्रभृत्य् अनिवर्तियाः ॥ १८ ॥
aṣṭamāṃ prabhṛti bhūmiṃ bodhisatvā jinātmaja |
samyaksaṃbuddhā iti draṣṭavyā ataḥ prabhṛty anivartiyāḥ || 18 ||
From the eighth bhumi onwards, O son of the Conqueror, Bodhisattvas are to be looked upon as perfect Buddhas. For after that they do not lapse. (18)
