Verse 64.612
न तस्य काये क्रमति विषं न शस्त्रं हुतासनं ज्वलितो अग्निस्कन्धो ।
चौरा पि तं न प्रसहन्ति पापा यो जीर्णं पुष्पं अपनये चेतियेषु ॥ ६१२ ॥
na tasya kāye kramati viṣaṃ na śastraṃ hutāsanaṃ jvalito agniskandho |
caurā pi taṃ na prasahanti pāpā yo jīrṇaṃ puṣpaṃ apanaye cetiyeṣu || 612 ||
Neither poison nor weapon assails him, nor fire or the blazing brand. Wicked thieves do not prevail over him who shall remove faded flowers from shrines. (612)
