सो चादृशासि भगवन्तं स्वयंभुं निषण्णं सिंहं यथ दुष्प्रधर्षं ।
विशुद्धसारं जगसत्त्वसारं जाम्बूनदस्य यथ यूपो भासे ॥ १०१ ॥

so cādṛśāsi bhagavantaṃ svayaṃbhuṃ niṣaṇṇaṃ siṃhaṃ yatha duṣpradharṣaṃ |
viśuddhasāraṃ jagasattvasāraṃ jāmbūnadasya yatha yūpo bhāse || 101 ||

And Mara saw the Exalted One, the Self-becoming, seated like an irresistible lion, the essence of purity, the choicest of the world’s beings. He shone like a pillar of Jambunada gold. (101)
