Verse 64.31
पूर्वेनिवासं स्मरेसि सुजाता प्रेम्नं जनेत्व शुभं बोधिसत्वे ।
बुद्धान कोटिनयुता सहस्रा भुक्वा भुक्तं मम गता बोधिमूलं ॥ ३१ ॥
pūrvenivāsaṃ smaresi sujātā premnaṃ janetva śubhaṃ bodhisatve |
buddhāna koṭinayutā sahasrā bhukvā bhuktaṃ mama gatā bodhimūlaṃ || 31 ||
And Sujata, conceiving a pure love for the Bodhisattva, again recalled to mind her former lives, and said, “Thousands of kotis of nayutas of Buddhas ate my food and went on to the foot of the bodhi tree.” (31)
