यस्य जालिनी समूहता तृष्णा नास्य कहिं पि नेत्रिका ।
तं बुद्धम् अनन्तविक्रमं अपदं केन पदेन नेष्यथ ॥ ४ ॥
yasya jālinī samūhatā tṛṣṇā nāsya kahiṃ pi netrikā |
taṃ buddham anantavikramaṃ apadaṃ kena padena neṣyatha || 4 ||
Who has destroyed the snare, craving, that it can no longer lead him anywhere, the Buddha of infinite range who knows no wordly way, along what way will you lead him? (4)
