Verse 65.71
सो हं तवाद्य सबलं यधि निर्जिनित्वा अरुणोदये प्रतिभाते भवितास्मि बुद्धो ।
सिंहासनम् अनुगतो हि न कश्चि कृष्ण उत्तिष्ठते चरमदेहगतो अबुद्धो ॥ ७१ ॥
so haṃ tavādya sabalaṃ yadhi nirjinitvā aruṇodaye pratibhāte bhavitāsmi buddho |
siṃhāsanam anugato hi na kaści kṛṣṇa uttiṣṭhate caramadehagato abuddho || 71 ||
“I am he who this day has in fight vanquished thee and thy power. When the rising sun begins to shine I shall become Buddha. For, O Dark One, none who has sat on this throne in his last incarnation fails to arise as a Buddha.” (71)
