Verse 64.575
जराभिभूतो उपगतो स्वर्गलोकं न तस्य भूयो इतो दुर्गतीयो ।
स बुद्धं च पश्यति मर्त्यलोके शोधेत्व स्तूपं द्विपदोत्तमस्य ॥ ५७५ ॥
jarābhibhūto upagato svargalokaṃ na tasya bhūyo ito durgatīyo |
sa buddhaṃ ca paśyati martyaloke śodhetva stūpaṃ dvipadottamasya || 575 ||
Overcoming old age he goes to heaven, and no more does he pass thence to a bourne of ill. He who has cleansed a tope of the Supreme Man sees the Buddha in the world of mortals, (575)
