तं खो महाराज तथा भविष्यति ।
बोधिं स्पृशिष्यामि न मे त्र संशयो ।
प्राप्तो च बोधिं पुनर् आगमिष्यं ।
धर्मं च ते देशयिष्यं प्रतिशृणोमीति ॥ ८३ ॥
taṃ kho mahārāja tathā bhaviṣyati |
bodhiṃ spṛśiṣyāmi na me tra saṃśayo |
prāpto ca bodhiṃ punar āgamiṣyaṃ |
dharmaṃ ca te deśayiṣyaṃ pratiśṛṇomīti || 83 ||
“So, surely, your majesty, shall it come to pass. I shall gain enlightenment, of that I have no doubt. And when I have gained it, I shall return here, and teach you the dharma. This I promise you.” (83)
