Verse 64.389
शीले अशवलः सदा अभूषि पुरिमभवेषु विशिष्टलक्षमाणः ।
तेन दशबलं उपेति शास्तं तस्य विरोचति काये लक्षणेहि ॥ ३८९ ॥
śīle aśavalaḥ sadā abhūṣi purimabhaveṣu viśiṣṭalakṣamāṇaḥ |
tena daśabalaṃ upeti śāstaṃ tasya virocati kāye lakṣaṇehi || 389 ||
He who has the marks of distinction was always unblemished in morality in his former lives. Thus he comes to be the Dashabala, the Master, and his body sparkles with the marks of excellence. (389)
