येहि पुरिमा बुद्धा सत्वसारा गुरुकृता सत्कृता पूजिता नरेन्द्रा ।
प्रणतमनाः शिष्ट बुद्धज्ञाने नरवरवर्ण श्रुणित्व तुष्टा भोन्ति ॥ ३४४ ॥

yehi purimā buddhā satvasārā gurukṛtā satkṛtā pūjitā narendrā |
praṇatamanāḥ śiṣṭa buddhajñāne naravaravarṇa śruṇitva tuṣṭā bhonti || 344 ||

Those who, trained with submissive minds in knowledge of the Buddha, have revered, honoured and worshipped former Buddhas, choice beings and lords of men, will be enraptured when they hear of the beauty of the Best of Men. (344)
