विचित्रगम्भीरकथो बहुश्रुतो किलेशघाती परवादिमर्दनो ।
स भिक्षु शोभेत स्वयंभुशासने नभे व चन्द्रो परिपूर्णमण्डलो ॥ २६ ॥

vicitragambhīrakatho bahuśruto kileśaghātī paravādimardano |
sa bhikṣu śobheta svayaṃbhuśāsane nabhe va candro paripūrṇamaṇḍalo || 26 ||

He whose eloquence is brilliant and profound, whose learning is great, who destroys the lusts and crushes his opponents, he, monks, shines in his teaching of the Self-becoming One as the full-orbed moon shines in the sky. (26)
