बुद्धांश् च क्षिप्रं लभे दक्षिणीयां पश्यित्व सो पूजति लोकनाथां ।
बोधाय च्छन्दं जनयति पूजं कृत्वा तेनैव बुद्धा हतरज व्याकरोन्ति ॥ ५९३ ॥
buddhāṃś ca kṣipraṃ labhe dakṣiṇīyāṃ paśyitva so pūjati lokanāthāṃ |
bodhāya cchandaṃ janayati pūjaṃ kṛtvā tenaiva buddhā hataraja vyākaronti || 593 ||
Quickly he shall reach the Buddhas who are worthy of offerings, and when he sees them he adores the Saviours of the world. When he has performed his act of adoration he begets the wish for enlightenment, and so the Buddhas, who are rid of passion, proclaim of him:— (593)
