Shikshasamuccaya 41

41

yeṣa na jātu na tiṣṭhati buddhaḥ teṣa na jātu rahāyati dharmmaḥ | yeṣa na jātu rahāyati dharmaḥ te sada dhiṣṭhita sarva-jinebhir | ity-ādi-śraddhā-mūlo guṇa-vistaro * an-antas tatra + uktaḥ | tat parisamāpya saṃkṣepataḥ punar āha | dur-llabha-satva-pṛthag-jana-kāyā | ye imi śraddadhi īdṛśi dharmmān | ye tu śubha-upacitāḥ kṛta-puṇyās te imi śraddadhi hetu-balena ||

For those in whose presence a buddha never fails to remain, the Dharma never wanes; / For those in whom the Dharma never wanes, they are always sustained by all the Jinas."
And so forth. An endless exposition of virtues rooted in faith is proclaimed there. Concluding that, it says again in brief:
"Rare are the ordinary persons / Who have faith in such dharmas as these. / But those who have accumulated wholesome virtue and created merit, / They have faith in these through the force of causes.
