Verse 64.519
ध्वजं दहित्वा हतरजसत्वसारे तं च प्रसूतं लभे नो चिरेण ।
प्रभूतकोशो भवति अनोपमप्रज्ञो परिवार तस्य होति अदीनचित्तो ॥ ५१९ ॥
dhvajaṃ dahitvā hatarajasatvasāre taṃ ca prasūtaṃ labhe no cireṇa |
prabhūtakośo bhavati anopamaprajño parivāra tasya hoti adīnacitto || 519 ||
When a man has given a flag to the Choicest of beings whose passion is quelled, it is not long before he wins the reward for it. He becomes rich in treasure and incomparably wise, and his retinue will be proud. (519)
