62. śramana Kósi Kumāra asked Ganadhara Mahārājt Indrabhuti Gautama "Which path did you say?" When Kési Kumāra asked him in this way, Ganadhara Gautama replied thus:—
कुप्पावयणपासंडी,
उम्मग्गपट्टिआ ।
सव्वे सम्मग्गं तु जिणक्ख्यायं, एस मग्गे हि उत्तमे ॥ ६३ ॥
63. Kuppāvayana pāsandi, savvé ummagga patthia; Sammaggam tu Jiņakkhyayam, esa maggé hi uttamé.
64. Heretics, propounding false doctrines, all set out for the wrong path. The doctrine preached by Jinéśvara Bhagavan is the Right Path. That path is therefore excellent.
साहु गोअम ! पण्णा ते छिन्नो मे संसग्रो इमो । अण्णो वि संसओ मज्झ, तं मे कहसु गोअमा ! ॥ ६४ ॥
64. Sāhu Goama! pannā té, chhinno mé samsao imo; Anno vi samsao majjham tam mé kahasu Goamā!
64. O Gautama! you are very intelligent. This doubt of Imine has been removed (by you).
I have also another doubt
O Gautama I ( please ) tell me that.
पाणिं । सरणं गई पट्ठा य, दीवं कं मन्नसी मुणी ! ॥ ६५ ॥
महाउदगवेगेणं
वुज्झमाणाण
65. Mahā udaga végénam vujjhamānāna pāninam; Saranam gai paitthā ya, divam kam mannasi muni!
65. There is an island which is a shelter, a refuge and 24 fixed residence for creatures carried away, by the force of a great current of water, O Muni ! Which island do you think it is?
