Verse 95.7
प्रादुरहोसि समलेहि चिन्तितो धर्मो अशुद्धो मगधेषु पूर्वं ।
अपावृतं ते अमृतस्य द्वारं शृणोन्तु धर्मं विमलानुबुद्धं ॥ ७ ॥
prādurahosi samalehi cintito dharmo aśuddho magadheṣu pūrvaṃ |
apāvṛtaṃ te amṛtasya dvāraṃ śṛṇontu dharmaṃ vimalānubuddhaṃ || 7 ||
Already there has appeared in Magadha an impure doctrine devised by men unclean. Thou hast opened the door of immortality, so let them hear the dharma to which a stainless man has awakened. (7)
