भाषेच् च जिनवरधर्म निर्वृतानां श्रद्धाय तेषां धरयति गारवेण ।
दानं च देति अपरिमितचेतियेषु पूजेति संघ भगवतो च गारवेण ॥ ४९४ ॥

bhāṣec ca jinavaradharma nirvṛtānāṃ śraddhāya teṣāṃ dharayati gāraveṇa |
dānaṃ ca deti aparimitacetiyeṣu pūjeti saṃgha bhagavato ca gāraveṇa || 494 ||

They shall tell of the dharma of the noble Conqueror to those in Nirvana. They uphold it with faith out of respect for them, and lay their gifts on countless monuments and honour the Sangha out of respect for the Exalted One. (494)
