देवपुरायं चिरं निवसित्वा पंचहि कामगुणेहि समंगी ।
मानुषलोकम् इमं पुनरेत्वा पूजयिष्यन्ति जिनां द्विपदेन्द्रां ॥ ८ ॥
devapurāyaṃ ciraṃ nivasitvā paṃcahi kāmaguṇehi samaṃgī |
mānuṣalokam imaṃ punaretvā pūjayiṣyanti jināṃ dvipadendrāṃ || 8 ||
“And when they have dwelt in the devas’ city for a long time, endowed with the five strands of sensual pleasures, they will come again to the world of men and will worship the Conquerors, the Lords of bipeds. (8)
