ये च अचपला अनुद्धता च अमुखरा अभू अकीर्णवाचा ।
सुसखिलवाचा न मानुपेता जिनवरवर्ण श्रुणित्व तुष्ट भोन्ति ॥ ७८ ॥
ye ca acapalā anuddhatā ca amukharā abhū akīrṇavācā |
susakhilavācā na mānupetā jinavaravarṇa śruṇitva tuṣṭa bhonti || 78 ||
And those who are constant and humble, and are not scurrilous and loose of talk, but are kindly of speech and not given to pride, all will be glad when they hear of the beauty of the noble Conqueror. (78)
