Translation
| a1 | |
|---|---|
| a1 | Why do they not worship the ones standing in the saṃvara? Why do they themselves not (take up?) monkhood? |
| a1+ | ... to the Buddha... |
| a2 | In this way, Indra evokes the desire for monkhood that single time. |
| a2+ | ... he will come to the divine palace Sudharma, where... divine kings, on the eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth day... |
| a4+ | Those gods which earlier were monks or nuns, they... sight of other gods... |
| a5+ | ... of Indra... more and more... of the gods... veneration in (of?) the law of Buddha... |
| a6+ | ... a being having left home, wherever it is born, there it... |
| b1+ | ... is good, noble, lovely... |
| b2 | ... from the mind... is... |
| b2+ | ... a monk... by seeing those that have become gods... |
| b3+ | If Indra comes to the divine coral tree, he will see the pāṇḍukampal-throne... |
| b4+ | ... similar to a lay-sister, the worthy ones of the gods, the Buddhas... the three summer months... |
| b5+ | ... having seen the throne, Indra's veneration for the law of the Buddha (grew) ever more... |
| b6 | The desire for monkhood arises (in him). ... among the gods... the gods... |
