सर्वे च सत्वा सियु लोकनाथा समन्तचक्षू हतरजनिष्किलेशा ।
ते कल्पकोटीनयुतां सहस्रां भाषेयु वर्णं जिनवरे पुष्पदिन्ने ॥ ४९६ ॥

sarve ca satvā siyu lokanāthā samantacakṣū hatarajaniṣkileśā |
te kalpakoṭīnayutāṃ sahasrāṃ bhāṣeyu varṇaṃ jinavare puṣpadinne || 496 ||

All beings shall become saviours of the world, all-seeing, with passions stifled and the lusts destroyed. For thousands of nayutas of kotis they shall tell the praise of an offering of flowers to the noble Conqueror. (496)
