Verse 7.216.22

कृतार्थोऽहं नमस्तेऽस्तु दण्डवत्पतितो भुवि ।
गुरोरुत्तीर्णता केन शिष्याणामस्ति कर्मणा ॥ २२ ॥

kṛtārtho'haṃ namaste'stu daṇḍavatpatito bhuvi |
guroruttīrṇatā kena śiṣyāṇāmasti karmaṇā || 22 ||

I own myself to be quite felicitous to thy favour, and bow down prostrate to thee on the ground, for thy lifting me up from the doleful pit of the world; because there is no other way to repay my gratitude to my venerable preceptor.
