Verse 64.550
विशुद्धश्रोतो च उदग्रचित्तो विशुद्धचक्षू च सुसंप्रजानो ।
श्रोतेन्द्रियेण सु-उपेतो भोति वादेत्व वाद्यं जिनचेतियेषु ॥ ५५० ॥
viśuddhaśroto ca udagracitto viśuddhacakṣū ca susaṃprajāno |
śrotendriyeṇa su-upeto bhoti vādetva vādyaṃ jinacetiyeṣu || 550 ||
He becomes keen of hearing and exalted of heart, clear of sight and thoughtful. He becomes gifted with a good sense of smell, who has played on an instrument of music at the Conqueror’s shrines. (550)
