न ध्यानहानिर् भवते कदाचित् न बोधिचित्तं जहते कदाचित् ।
मैत्राविहारी सद हृष्टचित्तो ददित्व च्छत्रं जिनचेतियेषु ॥ ५४८ ॥

na dhyānahānir bhavate kadācit na bodhicittaṃ jahate kadācit |
maitrāvihārī sada hṛṣṭacitto daditva cchatraṃ jinacetiyeṣu || 548 ||

Never is there any falling off in meditation, and never does he abandon the thought of enlightenment. Abiding in love and always elated of heart is he who has placed a sunshade on the Conqueror’s shrines. (548)
