त्वम् इव-म्-अहं संबुद्धो धर्मं प्रकाशयेय नरमरूणां ।
द्वात्रिंशल्लक्षणधरो नामेन ललितविक्रमो संबुद्धो ।
आसि भगवां भवनुदो वासिष्ठगोत्रो धुतकिलेशो ॥ ४५ ॥
tvam iva-m-ahaṃ saṃbuddho dharmaṃ prakāśayeya naramarūṇāṃ |
dvātriṃśallakṣaṇadharo nāmena lalitavikramo saṃbuddho |
āsi bhagavāṃ bhavanudo vāsiṣṭhagotro dhutakileśo || 45 ||
There was a perfect Buddha, who bore the thirty-two marks and was named Lalitavikrama, an Exalted One, a destroyer of existence, one who had shaken off the lusts. He belonged to the Vasishtha family. (45)
