adha yác cā́rathe gaṇé śatám uṣṭrā́n ácikradat | adha śvitnéṣu viṃśatíṃ śatá ||
Translation
ครั้นแล้ว เมื่อ(พลังนั้น)เคลื่อนไปพร้อมหมู่คณะ ก็ให้เคลื่อนพลอูฐหนึ่งร้อย; แล้วอีกครั้ง ท่ามกลางผู้สว่างไสว ก็ยังนำมาสองพัน—เป็นนิมิตแห่งสมรรถนะที่ทวีคูณซึ่งถูกปลดปล่อยเพื่อการเดินทาง และเพื่อการเพิ่มพูนพลังอันเรืองรอง
