Verse 23.1
अपि तु नासि माणवा इतो अन्यपुराद् असि त्वं इहागतो ।
यो लोकहितं प्रभंकरं दीपवतीं प्राप्तं न बुध्यसे ॥ १ ॥
api tu nāsi māṇavā ito anyapurād asi tvaṃ ihāgato |
yo lokahitaṃ prabhaṃkaraṃ dīpavatīṃ prāptaṃ na budhyase || 1 ||
Of a truth, young man, you are not of this place; you have come from another city, since you do not know that the Benefactor of the world, the Light-bringer, has come to Dipavati. (1)
