Verse 29.8
सर्वैव यस्य दर्शनसंपदायो त्रयो स्य धर्मा जहिता भवन्ति ।
सत्कायदृष्टीविचिकित्सितं च शीलव्रतं चापि यत् अस्ति किंचित् ।
इदं पि संघे रतनं प्रणीतं एतेन सत्येन सुस्वस्ति भोतु मनुष्यतो वा अमनुष्यतो वा ॥ ८ ॥
sarvaiva yasya darśanasaṃpadāyo trayo sya dharmā jahitā bhavanti |
satkāyadṛṣṭīvicikitsitaṃ ca śīlavrataṃ cāpi yat asti kiṃcit |
idaṃ pi saṃghe ratanaṃ praṇītaṃ etena satyena susvasti bhotu manuṣyato vā amanuṣyato vā || 8 ||
He who has the good fortune to possess all the true doctrines has left behind the three evil states of harbouring theories about individuality, of doubt, and of the delusion concerning good works. This choicest gem is in the Sangha. By this truth let blessing come from man and from demon. (8)
