न सो मुह्यति धर्मेषु नैरात्म्यं दृष्ट्वा शून्यतां ।
प्रसादं लभते क्षिप्रं धर्मेण सो च कोविदो ॥ ४०० ॥
na so muhyati dharmeṣu nairātmyaṃ dṛṣṭvā śūnyatāṃ |
prasādaṃ labhate kṣipraṃ dharmeṇa so ca kovido || 400 ||
He is not confounded by appearances as he has perceived the unsubstantiality and emptiness of them. He speedily wins trust and is well versed in the dharma. (400)
