ततो प्रमुंचे गिरां बोधिसत्वो अष्टांगुपेतां मधुरां सुघोषां ।
सर्वे ते सत्वा सियु मारभूता न च समर्था मम रोमम् इंजितुं ॥ २२९ ॥
tato pramuṃce girāṃ bodhisatvo aṣṭāṃgupetāṃ madhurāṃ sughoṣāṃ |
sarve te satvā siyu mārabhūtā na ca samarthā mama romam iṃjituṃ || 229 ||
Then did the Bodhisattva give utterance to a speech that was perfect, gentle and sweet-sounding. “Though all these beings be Mara’s creatures, they cannot stir a hair of mine.” (229)
