किन् तं न भिद्यते पार्श्वं तस्या जिनजनेत्रिये ।
जनेन्तिये नरश्रेष्ठं वेदना च न जायति ॥ २० ॥
kin taṃ na bhidyate pārśvaṃ tasyā jinajanetriye |
janentiye naraśreṣṭhaṃ vedanā ca na jāyati || 20 ||
Why is not that side of the Conqueror’s mother rent as she is delivered of the Best of Men, and why does no pain ensue? (20)
