Verse 87.104
बुद्धान दानं सुगतेन देशितं अनोमन्यायेन अनोमबुद्धिना ।
तादृशं सुगतम् अनुस्मरन्तो निरामिषां को न लभेत प्रीतिं ॥ १०४ ॥
buddhāna dānaṃ sugatena deśitaṃ anomanyāyena anomabuddhinā |
tādṛśaṃ sugatam anusmaranto nirāmiṣāṃ ko na labheta prītiṃ || 104 ||
The liberality of the Buddhas is taught by the Sugata in a matchless way and with matchless intelligence. Who will not feel a spiritual joy in remembering such a Sugata? (104)
