Verse 64.621
न सो अपायं प्रपतेय भूयः वर्जेति हीनां कुल मर्त्यलोके ।
आढ्यश् च सो भोति प्रभूतकोशो यो अंजलीये वन्दति बुद्धस्तूपं ॥ ६२१ ॥
na so apāyaṃ prapateya bhūyaḥ varjeti hīnāṃ kula martyaloke |
āḍhyaś ca so bhoti prabhūtakośo yo aṃjalīye vandati buddhastūpaṃ || 621 ||
No more does he fall into a desolate way. He avoids base families in all the world. He who reverently salutes a tope of the Buddha becomes rich with abundant stores. (621)
