॥८८।।
Meaning :- It is not difficult to get the honour of a presidentship of a big meeting or an institution like the Congress. Due to sufficient religious merit one can easily get the kingship or the high post of a very big officer. Moreover, the status of the lord of gods, has also been attained, even more than once. And this can also be got again and again. But of all these things, the attainment of a gem in the form of enlightenment is most difficult. If it is got even once, the worldly ramblings will surely and automatically cease. (88)
