Verse 25.6
अनेलिकां धारयतो महामुने नमस्कृत्वा अंजलिं वन्दमाना ।
शरणं ते गच्छाम असह्यसाहि तेषां सुलब्धं च सु-आगतं च ॥ ६ ॥
anelikāṃ dhārayato mahāmune namaskṛtvā aṃjaliṃ vandamānā |
śaraṇaṃ te gacchāma asahyasāhi teṣāṃ sulabdhaṃ ca su-āgataṃ ca || 6 ||
“When they hear thy words, sweet as pure honey, O great seer, and bear them in mind, they hold out their joined hands in adoration and praise, saying, ‘We come to thy refuge, O thou who bearest what others cannot bear.’ And they receive thy acceptance and welcome. (6)
