सप्ताहपूरं दुःखि मारसैन्यं द्रुमस्य मूले अभु कृच्छ्रप्राप्तं ।
जात्यन्धभूतं दिशम् अप्रजानं बुद्धश् च शोभे यथ रस्मिराजो ॥ २४४ ॥
saptāhapūraṃ duḥkhi mārasainyaṃ drumasya mūle abhu kṛcchraprāptaṃ |
jātyandhabhūtaṃ diśam aprajānaṃ buddhaś ca śobhe yatha rasmirājo || 244 ||
After a full seven-days the ill-starred host of Mara had, blinded and ignorant of direction, with difficulty reached the verge of a wood, while the Buddha shone like the king of rays. (244)
