एतेषां बुद्धानां परंपराये ।
द्वाषष्टि बुद्धा शिखिनामसाह्वया ।
सर्वे अभूषि पदुमस्मिं कल्पे ।
महानुभावा अरिसंघसूदना ।
विनेसि ते श्रावकां सत्पथा पृथू ॥ १० ॥

eteṣāṃ buddhānāṃ paraṃparāye |
dvāṣaṣṭi buddhā śikhināmasāhvayā |
sarve abhūṣi padumasmiṃ kalpe |
mahānubhāvā arisaṃghasūdanā |
vinesi te śrāvakāṃ satpathā pṛthū || 10 ||

In the succession of these Buddhas sixty-two were named Shikhin. All lived in the kalpa of Paduma. Mighty in power, routing the hosts of their enemies they instructed many disciples in the true way. (10)
