आनंदभेरिरवं श्रुत्वा शाक्यराष्त्रे संगीतिं देवगणवादितं लुम्बिनीये ।
येन प्रतिज्ञा कृता बुद्धो भविष्यं लोके सो एष्यति भूतवचनो विगतान्धकारो ॥ १३८ ॥
ānaṃdabheriravaṃ śrutvā śākyarāṣtre saṃgītiṃ devagaṇavāditaṃ lumbinīye |
yena pratijñā kṛtā buddho bhaviṣyaṃ loke so eṣyati bhūtavacano vigatāndhakāro || 138 ||
When he has heard the joyous sound of drums in the kingdom of the Shakyans, and the music played by the host of devas in Lumbini, he who declared ‘I will become a Buddha in the world,’ will come, making true his word and dispelling the darkness. (138)
