तस्य व्याकरणं श्रुत्वा मङ्गलस्य महर्षिणः ।
विरियं प्रग्रहेत्वान दृढं कृत्वान मानसं ।
चरन्तो बोधिचर्याणि नाहं कंचित् परित्यजे ॥ २० ॥
tasya vyākaraṇaṃ śrutvā maṅgalasya maharṣiṇaḥ |
viriyaṃ pragrahetvāna dṛḍhaṃ kṛtvāna mānasaṃ |
caranto bodhicaryāṇi nāhaṃ kaṃcit parityaje || 20 ||
When I heard this prediction by the great seer Mangala, I exerted my energy and made my mind steady with the resolve never, as I fared along, to abandon the ways of enlightenment. (20)
