Verse 23.30
चिरस्य चक्षुं उदपासि लोके चिरस्य उत्पादो तथागतानां ।
चिरस्य मह्यं प्रणिधिः समृद्धा बुद्धो भविष्यामि न मे ऽत्र संशयः ॥ ३० ॥
cirasya cakṣuṃ udapāsi loke cirasya utpādo tathāgatānāṃ |
cirasya mahyaṃ praṇidhiḥ samṛddhā buddho bhaviṣyāmi na me 'tra saṃśayaḥ || 30 ||
It has taken a long time for the All-seeing One to appear in the world. It takes a long time for Tathagatas to be born. After a longtime, too, my vow will be fulfilled, and I shall become a Buddha. Of this I have no doubt. (30)
