छत्रं से दिन्नं भगवतो मारुतानां बुद्धोत्तमस्य व्रजतो नरर्षभस्य ।
चित्तं प्रसादेत्व नरोत्तमस्मिं मा बुद्धकायं तपे रस्मिराजा ॥ ५४० ॥
chatraṃ se dinnaṃ bhagavato mārutānāṃ buddhottamasya vrajato nararṣabhasya |
cittaṃ prasādetva narottamasmiṃ mā buddhakāyaṃ tape rasmirājā || 540 ||
A sunshade was given by one who had put his trust in the Best of Men, to him the exalted among the devas, the supreme Buddha, the devout, the Valiant Man, lest the sun should scorch the body of the Buddha. (540)
