Translation

a1... over fifty miles it [i.e., the Pārijāta-tree] smells lovely ... (He radiates) with his own rays all around for eighty miles.
a2+In this way he, for the sake of evoking ever new pleasures and joys in the gods and goddesses, in four months...
a3How was this? In the apratituläṃ*-tune:
a3+One time, (the Pārijāta-tree) turns golden... god(dess?)... time...
a4A second time, (it) scatters leaves and flowers... of the heart... time... of the gods...
a5... the heart (of the gods) is gladdened by happiness and joy ...
a5+... flower...
a6A fifth time (it) adorns itself with buddings... new...
b1... (sixth) time... (it) spreads great bliss, so to speak, among the gods...
b1+A seventh (time)... from the leaves, from the stems and branches, lovely smells... spread (?)...
b3... says to...: Worthy one! So great the distinctions...!
b3+Why is its name (parijāt*)?
b4... they call it four kinds of names:
b4+How... having exited from there... all around...
b5Paramacitraka. Sprinkled very much (?). Nanda says: Worthy one, you have spoken very briefly.
b5+I don't know...
b6/// Near the city Sudarśana there is a great pond filled with divine water. Out from there grows [lit. has left] this tree. Therefore (it is called Pārijāta.)
