by Émile Senart | 1882 | 56,574 words

Verse 64.393
दृष्ट पुरिम बुद्ध सार्थवाहा हतरजा सत्कृत पूजिता स्वयंभू ।
छन्दो जनितो बोधिये वराये इमे गुणाः श्रुत्वा उदग्रा बोधिसत्वाः ॥ ३९३ ॥
dṛṣṭa purima buddha sārthavāhā hatarajā satkṛta pūjitā svayaṃbhū |
chando janito bodhiye varāye ime guṇāḥ śrutvā udagrā bodhisatvāḥ || 393 ||
The Buddhas seen of old were Caravan-leaders, who had stifled their passions, were revered and honoured and self-dependent. They begat the desire for the noble enlightenment. When they heard of these good qualities the Bodhi-sattvas were exultant. (393)
