A Sūtra-like Manual of Expiations for Ritual Transgressions
पूर्णे वर्षसहस्रे तु स्थित्वा त्वं समले पुनः ॥ गच्छाश्रमपदं पश्चाद्गौतमस्य महामुनेः ॥
pūrṇe varṣasahasre tu sthitvā tvaṁ samale punaḥ || gacchāśramapadaṁ paścād gautamasya mahāmuneḥ ||
సహస్ర సంవత్సరాలు పూర్తైనప్పుడు, ఆ అపవిత్ర స్థలంలో మరల నిలిచి; తరువాత మహాముని గౌతముని ఆశ్రమపదానికి వెళ్ళు।
