Translation
| a1 | ... going from (cell) to cell, circuit to circuit, ... went close to Nanda. ... saw... |
|---|---|
| a2 | Having seen (him)... standing... with... senses and facing down, surprised, she says: |
| a3 | ... oh what loveliness and nobility! Oh what similarity to Buddha the teacher! Oh what... with the lineage of Ikṣvāku... |
| a4 | In the... tune: ... it is not surprising that old, wretched or poor people leave the house and go to Buddha ... |
| a5 | very amazing and very surprising [is] yet the monkhood of Nanda ... Why did he renounce bliss? |
| a5+ | Why did he renounce...? |
| a6 | ... Viśākhā, overcome by joy, reverently approaching Nanda with amazed mind, came close (to him)... |
| b1 | ... but this lay-woman was [like] a Kālinga textile to touch ... ... and the worthy one, passionate (?) by his nature... |
| b2 | ... passion, like fire, illuminated in succession (?)... towards the buttocks... He no longer managed to restrain his body. His seed came out... |
| b3 | ... Buddha the teacher became aware of the matter. Then the power of Buddhahood... the sperm (like sesame oil) provided with water (?) |
| b4 | ... Viśākhā, having stood up from the ground, looking into (all) directions, says to herself: Oh what lovely...! |
| b5 | ... like blocked up divine water... ... thereupon, Viśākhā touched her own head, and immediately she knew: Like this... of this (worthy one)... |
| b6 | ... dripped... Him... Buddha the teacher... (like) sesame oil provided with water... |
