Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

दश कर्मयथा( पथाः? )प्रोक्ताः शुभा ये तायिना पुनः ।
सभ्यग्दृष्ट्युपगूढास्ते बलवन्तो भवन्त्यलम् ॥ ३४९८ ॥

daśa karmayathā( pathāḥ? )proktāḥ śubhā ye tāyinā punaḥ |
sabhyagdṛṣṭyupagūḍhāste balavanto bhavantyalam || 3498 ||

On the other hand, the ‘ten noble paths’ that have been taught by Tāyin (Buddha) are embedded in true knowledge and hence they are sufficiently powerful.—(3498)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

The superiority of the Lord’s Teaching is shown further, even though this also brings about Welfare (Prosperity)—[see verse 3498 above]

‘Powerful’—as leading to lasting and excellent results.—(3498)
