न बोधिचित्तं विजहति सो कदाचित् न खण्डशीलो भवति असंवृतो वा ।
धर्मं विरागं लभे विशुद्धं छोरेत्व जालं जिनचेतियेषु ॥ ६०३ ॥

na bodhicittaṃ vijahati so kadācit na khaṇḍaśīlo bhavati asaṃvṛto vā |
dharmaṃ virāgaṃ labhe viśuddhaṃ choretva jālaṃ jinacetiyeṣu || 603 ||

Never does he give up the thought of enlightenment. He never becomes corrupt of morals nor dissolute. He who has spread a net over the Conqueror’s shrines attains the passionless, pure dharma. (603)
