"Buddham sharanm gachh", in Sanskrit meaning 'take shelter in your intellect / Buddhi' (for salvation), is a part of a verse in the Gita (chapter 2, I think), which has been misconstrued as 'chalo Buddh ki aur'  ('follow Buddha religiously').

Here it is, the exact quote, "Buddhau sharnam vichh" (seek shelter in intellect / Buddhi) ... the Gita (Ch. 2 : V. 49)
