स्मृतिमतिगतिवन्तो पुण्यवन्तो परमसुसत्कृतु भोति नरामरेषु ।
विदु परमप्रशस्त जंबुद्वीपे जिनवरधर्म धारेत्व लुज्जमानं ॥ ४९० ॥

vidu paramapraśasta jaṃbudvīpe jinavaradharma dhāretva lujjamānaṃ || 490 ||

Whoso supports the dharma of the noble Conqueror when it is breaking up, comporting himself mindful and virtuous, becomes most highly revered among men and immortals, a wise man most highly extolled in Jambudvipa. (490)
