तेन कुशलेन तिमिरं प्रहीनं रागद्वेषा च ऊहता ।
अशेषा भवनेत्रिसरिता उच्छोषिता अयम् इह जातिः ॥ ६० ॥

tena kuśalena timiraṃ prahīnaṃ rāgadveṣā ca ūhatā |
aśeṣā bhavanetrisaritā ucchoṣitā ayam iha jātiḥ || 60 ||

“By this merit of mine, the darkness was dissipated, and passion and hatred were suppressed. And here at length is this birth of mine free of any residual basis of another life, with the stream that is a conduit to further existence completely dried up. (60)
