स कौशिकः तं जहियान उच्छ्रयं शीलोपपेतो असधुर्यभूतो ।
पुण्यानि कृत्वा विपुलानि आश्रमेकायस्य भेदात् स्वर्गेषु मोदति ॥ ७८ ॥
sa kauśikaḥ taṃ jahiyāna ucchrayaṃ śīlopapeto asadhuryabhūto |
puṇyāni kṛtvā vipulāni āśramekāyasya bhedāt svargeṣu modati || 78 ||
Then Koshika, casting off his corporeality, endowed with virtue and without an equal, and having acquired rich merits in his retreat, on the dissolution of his body passed to the joys of heaven. (78)
