ये चापि बुद्धा पुरिमा अतीता अनागता यो पि चहं अनेयो ।
लूखं अलूखं अरसं सरसं च दमार्थिको लोकहिताय भुंजति ॥ १६४ ॥

ye cāpi buddhā purimā atītā anāgatā yo pi cahaṃ aneyo |
lūkhaṃ alūkhaṃ arasaṃ sarasaṃ ca damārthiko lokahitāya bhuṃjati || 164 ||

“Like the Buddhas who lived in times past long ago, and those who will live in time to come, I, too, a Self-guiding One, do eat the fine and the coarse, the flavoured and the flavourless, seeking self-control for the sake of the world. (164)
