by Émile Senart | 1882 | 56,574 words

This edition only includes those metrical verses occuring in the various stories and Jatakas, as well as the corresponding English translation by J. J. Jones.
Verse 64.488
हीनकुलविवर्जितो स भोति सुखितं येषु न अस्ति सौमनस्यं ।
आढ्य सुखित भोति भोगवां च जिनवरधर्म धारेत्व लुज्जमानं ॥ ४८८ ॥
hīnakulavivarjito sa bhoti sukhitaṃ yeṣu na asti saumanasyaṃ |
āḍhya sukhita bhoti bhogavāṃ ca jinavaradharma dhāretva lujjamānaṃ || 488 ||
Whoso supports the dharma of the noble Conqueror when it is breaking up, escapes birth in base families among whom there is no blessed ease. He becomes wealthy, happy and prosperous. (488)
