Verse 64.600
ततो च्यवित्व व्रजति मनुष्यलोकं सुगन्धिताङ्गो भवति विशिष्टवर्णो ।
न पारिहाणिं लभते कदाचित् छोरेत्व जालं जिनचेतियेषु ॥ ६०० ॥
tato cyavitva vrajati manuṣyalokaṃ sugandhitāṅgo bhavati viśiṣṭavarṇo |
na pārihāṇiṃ labhate kadācit choretva jālaṃ jinacetiyeṣu || 600 ||
Passing away thence he comes to the world of men, where he becomes fragrant of body and distinguished in beauty. He who has spread a net on the Conqueror’s shrines never experiences loss. (600)
