Verse 103.15
स वै प्रमोदेषु रतो न + + + भवे सुशीलेष्व् अचलो ऽचलोपमो ।
व्याकर्ष त्वं अर्थदृशो मतीमां मैत्रेयगोत्रो भवरागसूदनो ॥ १५ ॥
sa vai pramodeṣu rato na + + + bhave suśīleṣv acalo 'calopamo |
vyākarṣa tvaṃ arthadṛśo matīmāṃ maitreyagotro bhavarāgasūdano || 15 ||
No more would he delight in pleasures. . . but he would be steadfast in morality as one who cannot be moved. Do thou proclaim it who dost behold the truth, who art intelligent, of the clan of Maitreya, and dost rout the passion for existence. (15)
