प्रक्रान्तो सप्तपदं यो इह लुंबिनीये बोध्यंगसप्तरतनानि अबुध्ये येन ।
यो सिंहनादं नदते अहं लोके ज्येष्ठो सो एष्यति परवादं प्रभंजमानो ॥ १३९ ॥
prakrānto saptapadaṃ yo iha luṃbinīye bodhyaṃgasaptaratanāni abudhye yena |
yo siṃhanādaṃ nadate ahaṃ loke jyeṣṭho so eṣyati paravādaṃ prabhaṃjamāno || 139 ||
He who took seven strides here in Lumbini, he by whom the seven jewels of the bodhyangas were understood, he who roared a lion’s roar, ‘I am foremost in the world,’ will come and break those who speak against him. (139)
