ते एकराज्यसमानभोजना बुद्धं अद्दशेन्सु द्विपदानम् उत्तमं ।
नक्षत्रनामो + + + पारमीं गतो स्वशक्तितो देवमनुष्यपूजितो ॥ १६ ॥

te ekarājyasamānabhojanā buddhaṃ addaśensu dvipadānam uttamaṃ |
nakṣatranāmo + + + pāramīṃ gato svaśaktito devamanuṣyapūjito || 16 ||

And while they thus shared together one rule, they happened to see the Buddha, the Supreme of bipeds. He was the Buddha named after a constellation. He had reached perfection by his own power and was worshipped by devas and men. (16)
