अनुत्पादाच् च बुद्धानां पंचाभिज्ञा भवन्ति ते ।
नैष्क्रम्यम् अनुवर्णयन्ति कामेषु दोषदर्शिनः ॥ २९ ॥

anutpādāc ca buddhānāṃ paṃcābhijñā bhavanti te |
naiṣkramyam anuvarṇayanti kāmeṣu doṣadarśinaḥ || 29 ||

And though there are no Buddhas in the world at the time, the Bodhisattvas come to have the five super-knowledges. Perceiving the depravity of lusts, they extol renunciation of the world. (29)
