'Leave your large kingdom and the pleasures which are so dear to all; abandon what pleases the senses, and what attracts; be without attachment and property; learn thoroughly the Law and give up all amusements; then practise famous and severe penance, being of firm energy.' (49, 50)
In this way all (these) professors of the Law gradually obtained enlightenment, being frightened by birth and death, and seeking for the end of misery. (51)
Their doubts about the true doctrine were dispersed, and they realised the Bhâvanâs; in a short time they reached the end of misery. (52)
The king and the queen, the Brahmanical Purôhita, his wife, and his sons, they all reached perfection. (53)
Thus I say.
