Verse 64.116
अथापि बुद्धो भवे धर्मस्वामी सून्या विमाना भवे देवतानां ।
देशेत मार्गं शिवशान्तिक्षेमं न भूय मह्यं भवे ईश्वरत्वं ॥ ११६ ॥
athāpi buddho bhave dharmasvāmī sūnyā vimānā bhave devatānāṃ |
deśeta mārgaṃ śivaśāntikṣemaṃ na bhūya mahyaṃ bhave īśvaratvaṃ || 116 ||
“Let him be, too, the Buddha, the sovereign of dharma; let the mansions be empty of devas. For he shows the way to bliss, calm and peace. Let me no more have the sovereignty. (116)
